Assistant coach of the Sudan national team, Ignatius Osei-Fosu, has stated that his superior James Kwasi Appiah would have managed a top European team if Ghana belonged to that continent.
According to him, the exploits of his head coach in football management would have given him the opportunity to manage the France national team if he hailed from a European country.
Osei-Fosu expressed optimism that the head coach of the Sudan national team will land a job with a big club or team in the future, considering his feats.
“If Ghana was a European country, Kwasi Appiah would have coached maybe France,” he said during the Pitchside podcast, as shared by GTV Sports+.
Kwasi Appiah was appointed Sudan’s head coach in September 2023 to lead their campaign for AFCON qualification which was a success.
Within a year, the former Ghana coach has guided Sudan to their first AFCON since 2013.
Additionally, Sudan is close to securing a spot at the 2026 World Cup, currently sitting atop their CAF World Cup qualifying group.
He also led the Black Stars to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
