Kwesi Appiah proud to have laid the foundation for Ghana

Former Ghana coach James Kwesi Appiah believes he "laid a strong foundation required for others to build on" during his time as manager of the West African nation.

The 59-year-old ended a two-year tenure as leader of the Black Stars on December 31 after the Ghana Football Association (GFA) decided against renewing his contract.

He led the Black Stars to the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) in Egypt last year where they exited the tournament in the Round of 16.

“It's been an absolute honour to have had the opportunity and privilege to coach the Black Stars of Ghana," Appiah said in a statement.
