Former Black Stars head coach James Kwesi Appiah has revealed he has been approached to take over the managerial duties at Sudanese giants Al Hilal.

The current Al Khartoum trainer left the Black Stars managerial role after graduating from the assistant coach to the substantive coach in a two- year stint.

The former Kumasi Asante Kotoko left back has steered Al Khartoum to the the third place on the Sudanese league to hit the headlines in the gulf region.

The ex Black Stars trainer confirmed official bids from the management of Al Hilal after a strong start to the 2015 season with his Al Khartoum side.

Appiah joined Al Khartoum despite a flurry of choices at his disposal. Confirming the news, the ambitious Ghanaian trainer admitted, the gulf in class of Al Hilal compared to his current club, but said he is committed to his contract with the Khartoum based top flight campaigners.

“Al Hilal is the biggest club in Sudan and they are seeking my services. I have decided to finish my contract with Al Khartoum even though Al Hilal’s package is better”, Kwesi told sports crusader exclusively.

Kwesi Appiah might however not link up with the Sudanese giants as anticipated if he can be reinstated as the head coach of the Black Stars.

The ex Black Meteors head coach look set for a quick return to the national set up as the pressure mounts on Maxwell Konadu and Avram Grant on their various roles.
