Former Black Stars head coach Kwasi Appiah says only Coaches with balls can manage the senior national team.

According to the coach, for someone to coach the national team, one needs to take decision without any fear.

“One thing that I know is that, if you are fearful in taking decisions, accepting criticisms and facing sack on the Black Stars job, you are not going to be successful.” He told Light FM Sports.

“For instance, if you fear of bringing in new good players to replace the old players, you are not going to do the country good.

"Even our last game against South Africa, I included 8 debutantes and I was told that do you know your job is at stake but I took the risk that if we get eliminated, the country will benefit from the new talents introduced for the future.

Appiah in 2018 became the first local coach to qualify Ghana to the FIFA World Cup.
