Kwesi Appiah will stay on as head Coach of the Black Stars until the end of his contract.

The under-fire gaffer was expected to announce his resignation as Black Stars Coach following the team’s failure to make a mark at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.

Appiah was tasked to supervise the team to win the title in Egypt after he was reappointed two years ago.

With much expectation, the former Ghana U23 Coach could not meet his target as Ghana crashed out at the round of 16 stage losing 5-4 on penalties to Tunisia.

He has since been under pressure to leave his post however Ghanasportsonline.com understands the Coach will only stay on and runout his contract which comes to an end later this year.

The former Al Khartoum trainer was handed a contract extension to lead Ghana at the Africa Cup of Nations after his deal with the Ghana Football Association expired early this year.

Many believe his second coming has been disastrous after Ghana failed to make it to the semi-finals at the AFCON for the first time in the last seven editions of the competition.
