‘New FA wanted me out; I’m still owed 6 months’ salary’ – Kwesi Appiah

Ex-Black Stars coach Kwesi Appiah has disclosed that the Ghana Football Association (GFA) owes him arrears of six months.

‘New FA wanted me out; I’m still owed 6 months’ salary’ – Kwesi Appiah

Appiah was on a $35,000 per month contract following his second coming as coach of the national team.

However, he left his post on December 31, 2019 following the expiration of his contract and the FA’s reluctance to renew it.

The 59-year-old said he could tell that the new FA wanted him out due to the lack of communication concerning his contract.

“When you are working and the people in charge are not telling you anything, it obviously means that they want you out of the job,” Appiah told Nhyira FM.

“The FA owes me six months’ salary. I am not bothered but I only hope that they will pay me.”

Appiah was reappointed as Black Stars coach in 2017, taking over from Israeli manager Avram Grant.

However, his tenure came to an end on December 31, 2019 after the GFA declined the chance to have it renewed.

This was followed by a complete dissolution of the technical teams of all the national teams by the FA.

Meanwhile, CK Akonnor, who used to serve as Appiah’s assistant, is all but set to be appointed the new Black Stars coach.
