Afriyie: Winning the Afcon is an achievable target for Ghana

Former Ghana Football Association vice president George Afriyie says James Kwesi Appiah 's reign as coach of the Black Stars should not come to an automatic end should the team fail to win the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) in Egypt.

Ghana are set for a mission to claim their fifth continental title at the June 21 to July 19 championship following a series of near-misses in recent years.

Having lifted the last of their four trophies in 1982, there is ever-increasing pressure on Appiah to bring home the title in his second stint in charge of the national setup.
