Sudan has resumed its interest in Ghanaian coach Kwasi Appiah, according to Oyerepa FM.
The East Africans have remained longtime admirers of the 62-year-old since his time at local side Al-Khartoum (from December 2014 to April 2017).
While on the job, Appiah was offered a rare opportunity to hold a dual role as Sudan national team boss and maintain his club job. However, he snubbed it.
“It is true that Sudan would have liked to have had me as a coach. The Sudan FA approached me to manage their national team but I declined the offer.
“They wanted me to coach Al-Khartoum as well as the national team if I couldn’t leave the club at this time, but I explained that I couldn’t…” Appiah revealed this in an interview in 2016.
This interest was reignited again in January 2020 after Appiah’s second stint as Black Stars coach ended with no contract extension by the Ghana FA.
Footy-Ghana.com revealed at the time that the president of the Sudan Football Association had personally reached out to Appiah over the Falcons of Jediane job.
But Kwasi Appiah excused himself from the talks as he had planned to spend some time away from coaching.
