Former coach of the senior national team of Ghana, James Kwesi Appiah, has handed over the keys to his official residence to the Football Association.

Appiah returned the keys of the three-bedroom apartment on Wednesday after his tenure as coach of the Black Stars ended in January.

The house was handed to the 60-year old in 2018 after calls for an official residence for the coach of the Black Stars.

The official resident will now house new coach C.K Akonnor, who replaced Appiah two months ago after a brief stint as assistant coach of Ghana.

Charles Kwablan Akonnor, a former captain of the Black Stars is yet to be handed an official contract but the GFA and the Ministry have agreed a $20,000 salary per month for the gaffer.

Meanwhile, Kwesi Appiah is set for a legal battle with the FA over unpaid salaries believed to be around $175,000.

Appiah has also returned the official car handed to him the FA during his time as a coach.

The Land Cruiser was handed over to the FA on Friday through a third party and was seen parked at the premises of the Ghana Football Association.
