In a massive football earthquake, Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah has called for his highly-experienced assistant Tanko Ibrahim and legend Stephen Appiah to be sacked from their posts with the senior national team, Ghanasoccernet.com can exclusively reveal.
The Black Stars coach has written to the Ghana Football Association (GFA) in his post-Africa Cup of Nations tournament report saying he doesn't want to work with the duo after the Black Stars' disastrous showing at the tournament in Egypt in July.
The national team bombed out of the competition at the second round stage which was the country's worst outing in 13 years which resulted in widespread calls for coach Appiah to be sacked claiming he is incompetent.
However, Appiah has turned the knife of his two popular assistants Tanko, who looks like the most experienced among the technical staff having coached in the Bundesliga and the Japanese top-flight as well as being the assistant coach of the Cameroon national team.
With the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers looming in November, Appiah has called for the massive changes of sacking the two popular Ghana legends before the qualifiers start saying the decision will help the Black Stars qualify.
Tanko, who is the first assistant coach of the Black Stars and also the head coach of the Black Meteors, now looks to be on his way out following the decision of coach Appiah.
Stephen Appiah, the legend of the Ghana national team who led the country to their first two World Cup appearances, is the technical coordinator of the Black Stars and Kwesi Appiah also wants him removed.
