General Secretary of Ghana Coaches Association, Lawyer Quayeson, has asked Black stars head Coach, Kwesi Appiah, to step down as Black Stars Coach.

Coach Kwesi Appiah has come under immense pressure from some section of Ghanaians to leave his post as head coach of the black stars following the team’s abysmal performance in AFCON19.

Speaking to Atinka Sports room, Mr Quayeson said “when it comes to issues of national interest and importance, we don’t only think about yourself and the Association, we have to be reasonable and also accept the concern of what other citizens are saying, so if it gets to a point and we see this is what the majority want, we can’t stick our neck out and insist on supporting our Association member, the black stars is our pride and we need to face the reality and stop thinking about our personal interest”

“He (Kwesi Appiah) is matured and knows what will benefit the country and himself but I think he will put the interest of Ghana first,” he said.

Mr Quayeson insists that although Coach Kwesi Appiah has enjoyed support from the Association, they will consider the call of Ghanaians with respect to their associate member.
