According to Oyerepa FM in Kumasi, the Sudanese FA are in advance talks with Ex-Black Stars gaffer to become the new head coach of the Sudanese senior men’s team.
Appiah was the head coach for the Black Stars team between 2012 and 2015 before Avraham Grant took over from him for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations tournament when Ghana lost the final to Ivory Coast on penalties.
Between 2014 and 2017 he joined Al Khartoum National Club in the Sudanese Premier League where he became fans favourite in the country.

He became the first Ghanaian coach to take the Black Stars team to a FIFA World Cup tournament when he qualified the team for the 2014 tournament in Brazil.
He was the head coach for the senior national team when they exited the CAF Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Egypt at the round of 16 stages of the competition against Tunisia.
He has been out of work for a while after leaving his position as the Black Stars head coach but recently applied for the vacant Black Stars coaching job.
Simba SC, according to Oyerepa FM are desperate to land the Ghana coach as their technical director as soon as possible with his experience to take the club to the very top of Africa club competitions.
