Akwasi Appiah<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ghana\u2019s U-23 team, The Black Meteors will revert to the hands of the Ghana Football Association, head coach Akwasi Appiah has confirmed.<\/p>\n

The ex Ghana international took over from David Duncan on an interim basis with the brief of qualifying the side to the All Africa Games against Nigeria.<\/p>\n

This target was achieved with a 2-0 win over the Dream Team V on Sunday which pulled both sides even on a 3-3 aggregate but the Ghanaians qualify on the away goals rule.<\/p>\n

Now that his express task is done, Appiah will return to his substantive job as the assistant coach of the Black Stars but could yet be handed the U-23 post on a permanent basis.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will now hand over the team to the GFA since I have completed the task given me,\u201d he told Accra-based Hot FM.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be then up to the officials to determine who becomes the substantive coach, I have no hand in that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The soft-spoken coach was appointed at a time when the side wasn\u2019t doing well under David Duncan.<\/p>\n

The team had suffered elimination from qualification to the 2012 London Olympic Games by Sudan which left many Ghanaians angry and disappointed.<\/p>\n
