Gospel musician Sonnie Badu has congratulated James Kwasi Appiah after he was announced the newly appointed coach of Ghana Black Stars on Tuesday.

“Welcome back big bro, this time round God will accomplish what concerns you , we never stopped praying , congratulations ... #NewGhanaBlackStarsCoach” the gospel act said in a post on his Instagram.

Appiah, who quit his role as Ghana coach following their exit in the World Cup 2014 in Brazil after the Black Stars were knocked out of the tournament in the group stages succeeds Avram Grant.

Appiah also guided Ghana to a fourth finish at the 2013 African Cup of Nations in South Africa during his first stint.

After the World Cup, where the Black Stars suffered a historic first round elimination, the ex-national defender took up a job as head coach of Sudanese club Al Khartoum before Grant’s appointment.
