Former Ghana coach, Kwasi Appiah has revealed that one can die if he doesn’t take a break from being the head coach of the Black Stars due excessive pressure on you to deliver.
He said it is not advisable for anyone to take up the Black Stars job after his previous two experiences with the Ghana senior national team of Ghana without opting to take some time off.
He again that the Black Stars job comes with a lot of pressure hence his reason to not offer anyone to take up that mantle.
According to him one must be mentally prepared and tough to be able to cope with the pressure of being a Ghana coach.
“When I used to be up there, as I am sitting with you now chatting, my mind will be somewhere else. You don’t have the time to concentrate on the things around you”
“You are always planning tactics and how to beat an opponent. It’s not something I will advise someone to get there,” Kwasi Appiah told Untold Stories TV Gh.
“People sometimes think the National team is easy and they can just walk in there, the pressure in it is not advisable”
“There are so many pressures you deal with at the National team level, some with the GFA, clubs, agents, the players themselves coming with their egos and so if you don’t take a break, you want to stay under this pressure, you will die”
Kwasi Appiah took Ghana to the 2014 FIFA World Cup tournament in Brazil and also returned to take Ghana to the previous Africa Cup of Nations tournament before the 2021 edition in Cameroon.
