Appiah Should Be Given CHAN Job- QuayeE

The team manager of Ghana's victorious Black Meteors, Sabahn Quaye says that head coach Kwasi Appiah should be made the next head coach of the Local Black Stars.

In an interview with Accra-based radio station Happy FM, Quaye praised Appiah's calm in the face of teething problems that could have distracted the team, adding that the ex-national captain's down to earth nature with everyone in camp galvanised the team to victory at the just ended All Africa Games in Maputo.

Things were not easy.We managed to bring the cup.We give thanks to God.I have worked with so many coaches but to be honest with you Akwesi Appiah's sense of unity and direction won the trophy for us''.

17 players and team officials arrived early this morning after beating South Africa 4-2 on penalties after a 1-1 drawn game to win gold on Saturday.
