GFA Gives Kwesi Appiah Two-Year Contract Extension

The Ghana Football Association has agreed a two-year contract extension with Black Stars coach Kwesi Appiah. According to the Ghana FA boss Kwesi Nyantakyi, the deal expires July 2016 and the development goes a long way to �show our faith in Kwesi Appiah.� �Yes we have agreed in principle to renew the contract. I am happy the terms satisfy both parties. This clearly shows that we want to work with him and he is also happy and we are also happy,� Nyantakyi told Goal Ghana. Appiah, who refused to disclose the terms of the contract, told Goal: �It is in the best interest of Ghana and everyone. I�m focused on the World Cup and let�s see how things work out.� The former Ghana international took over from Serbian Goran Stevanovic in April 2012 and finished fourth at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations. The 53-year-old becomes the first indigenous coach to lead the Black Stars to the World Cup as Ghana prepare to face USA, Germany and Portugal in Group G.
