Former Black Stars coach James Kwasi Appiah has debunked reports linking him to the Technical Director role at Asante Kotoko.

Reports went rife last week that the 59-year-old is interested in the technical role of the Porcupine Warriors.

However, Kwasi Appiah who was replaced by Charles Akonnor as Black Stars gaffer has said he has no plans of handling the Technical Director position at Asante Kotoko.

"It’s not true and not in my plans that I want Asante Kotoko Technical Director job," he told Ashh FM in Kumasi.

Kwasi Appiah spent ten years of his career playing for Asante Kotoko between 1983 and 1993 after joining from Prestea Mine stars.

The former Asante Kotoko captain won seven league titles and won one CAF Champions League in 1983 during his stint.

Appiah began his coaching career with Kotoko as an assistant coach from 1993 to 1995 before taking over as the head coach between 1995 and 1996.

He has also been in charge of the Ghana national team from April 2012 to September 2014 and from April 2017 to January 2020.
