''I will leave Sudan on Wednesday to meet my family before going to Ghana next week,'' Appiah told the Graphic Sports.

The Ghana Football Association is expected to outdoor the new Black Stars trainer at a press conference next week.

Appiah will officially start work on 01 May ahead five matches in his first four months.
