Ex-Ghana captain Appiah rules out Italy return

Ex-Ghana captain Stephen Appiah has ruled out a return to Italy although he is searching for a new club.

The 31-year-old midfielder is a free agent after completing a four-month loan deal at Serbian top-flight side Vojovodina last season.

Appiah spent five years in Italy where he played for Udinese, Parma and Brescia before joining Turkish giants Fenerbahce in 2005.

He later returned to the peninsula after recovering from a career-threatening knee-injury to play for Bologna and Cesena in the Serie A between 2009 and 2011.

"I am considering some offers, but not in Italy. My future is still abroad," Appiah told TuttoJuve.

Appiah quit international football after the 2010 FIFA World Cup finals in South Africa.
