Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) chairman, Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, has cautioned against the possible reappointment of Kwasi Appiah as head coach of the Black Stars ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The GFA is currently in search of a new head coach following the dismissal of Otto Addo, who was relieved of his duties after Ghana suffered back-to-back defeats to Austria and Germany in international friendlies in March 2026.

Appiah, who has previously handled the national team in two separate stints, has emerged as one of the frontrunners for the vacant role.

Other high-profile names reportedly under consideration include former Germany coach Joachim Löw, who led his country to World Cup glory in 2014, and experienced South African tactician Pitso Mosimane.

However, speaking in an interview with Graphic Sports, Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe expressed strong reservations about the prospect of Appiah’s return, stressing that circumstances surrounding his previous tenure should rule out any comeback.

He further suggested that Appiah himself should decline the opportunity if approached, emphasizing the need for a fresh direction for the national team.

Ghana has been drawn in Group L for the World Cup, where they will face Panama, England, and Croatia.
