Kwesi Appiah and other coaches have been sacked because the national teams were not competitive, Ghana Football Association (GFA) Kurt Okraku has said.

The GFA announced on Thursday that it had dissolved all technical teams of the national teams. Which means Kwesi Appiah has been relieved of his position as head coach of the Black Stars.

Other coaches affected by the surprise decision are Black Queens coach Mercy Tagoe-Quarcoo and Black Meteors coach Ibrahim Tanko.

Also without a job are Yaw Preko – Black Satellites coach, Evans Adotey – Black Maidens coach, Yusif Basigi – Black Princesses coach and Samuel Boadu – U-15 coach.

“We have not been as competitive as we want to be in all our national levels. We need to find ways to be competitive, bring the love back and bring the teams back into the finals and in the end, win trophies. This is what the council also aims to achieve that is why this was done,” Mr Okraku told Joy FM.
