Sports Journalist, Daniel Kwaku Yeboah has advised former Black Stars coach Kwesi Appiah to reject a proposal from Asante Kotoko to become the club’s head coach.
Dan Kwaku Yeboah argued that the Porcupines do not plan to invest in the squad to build a formidable team for the manager and that in the end, the fans will turn against him and drag his reputation, which he has spent years to build, through the mud.
“You were part of the squad that the African Cup in 1983. You’ve coached Black Stars and made a name for yourself. I’m like your younger sibling and the advice I would give you is that, don’t make a mistake by accepting the Kotoko job. Because Kotoko have no plans of investing and buying top players. They will dent the good reputation you’ve built and insult you. Capito, as your younger brother, this is my opinion,” he said on his YouTube channel.
Former Ghanaian international and Black Stars coach James Kwasi Appiah is reported to have met with Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II at the Manhyia Palace on Tuesday, July 4, 2023.
