Former coach of the senior national team of
Ghana, James Kwesi Appiah, has handed over the keys to his official residence to the Ghana Football
Association (GFA).
Appiah returned the keys of the three-bedroom
apartment on Wednesday after his tenure as coach of the Black Stars ended in
January.
The house was handed to the 60-year old in 2018
after calls for an official residence for the coach of the Black Stars.
The official residence will now house new coach
C.K Akonnor, who replaced Appiah two months ago after a brief stint as
Assistant Coach of Ghana.
Charles Kwablan Akonnor, a former captain of the
Black Stars is yet to be handed an official contract but the GFA and the
Ministry of Youth and Sports have agreed a $20,000 salary per month for the
gaffer.
Meanwhile, Kwesi Appiah is set for a legal
battle with the FA over unpaid salaries believed to be around $175,000.
Appiah has also returned the official car handed
to him the FA during his time as a coach.
The Land Cruiser was handed over to the FA on
Friday through a third party and was seen parked at the premises of the Ghana
Football Association. –Ghanaweb.com
