The fate of Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah is set to be decided by Monday after failing to end the country’s trophy drought at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Ghana FA Normalisation Committee is expected to submit its reports to the Sport Ministry today on the team’s disappointing campaign in Egypt.

The Black Stars exited the continental showpiece at the round of 16 stage at the hands of Tunisia.

The last 16 elimination is the country’s worst performance in the tournament since 2006.

In January this year, President of the committee Dr Kofi Amoah dropped hint that Appiah’s head would be on the chopping board if the Black Stars miss out on the trophy.

“Per the contract, if Kwesi Appiah doesn’t win the AFCON 2019 he is gone. This is stated in his contract,” Amoah was quoted as saying.

Coach Appiah still has a running contract which will expire in December.

This follows the recent extension of his contract by the NC prior to the AFCON.
