Coach Kwasi Appiah has denied claims that he is having a long-term rift with legend Abedi Pele.

The pair are reported to been having an age-long feud which is yet to be settled.

Kwasi Appiah and Abedi Pele are said to have had captaincy disputes during their playing days at the Black Stars team.

Many football enthusiasts have also alleged the Black Stars head coach decision to overlook the Ayew brothers (Jordan Ayew and Andre Ayew) in recent Black Stars call-ups is as a result of the said grudge with Abedi Pele who is the former of the Ayew brothers.

Kwasi Appiah however insist he is at peace with his former Black Stars playmate.

“Abedi Pele is my very good friend. Myself and Abedi debuted in the Black Stars as young players on the very same day,” he told Atinka FM.

“We have been very good friends since. It is those people outside who speculate about other things.”

Meanwhile, Andre Ayew and Jordan Ayew are reported to have received invites for Ghana’s Cup of Nations qualifier against Ethiopia.
