The sacking of Black Stars coach Kwesi Appiah and its resultant compensation come as “no liability” to the government of Ghana, according to Ghana FA chief Kwesi Nyantakyi.

Appiah was relieved of his post on September 12 after winning his last game against the Hawks of Togo in the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

It is believed that the football regulatory body of the West African country have to pay in excess of $100,000 in compensation to the 54-year-old.

Nyantakyi assured the Presidential Commission of Inquiry investigating Ghana’s abysmal participation at the 2014 World Cup that the State will not bear that cost since it has been a norm to pay from other sources.

“Since 2006, the FA has always compensated and remunerated coaches from its own resources, without falling on the State and we have done this through sponsorship, FIFA monies to Ghana, price monies from participation at the World Cup and many other sources,” the GFA boss told the three-member fact-finding body headed by an Appeals Court judge, Justice Senyo Dzamefe.

He added: “So there will be no liability to the State in this case [Kwesi Appiah’s dismissal] as there have been no liabilities to the State in the past… We pay coaches emolument and entitlement through sponsorship.”
