The Sudanese Football Association has appointed former Ghana coach, James Kwesi Appiah as the country\u2019s new head coach.<\/p>\n

The 63-year-old has signed a three-year deal to lead the Sudanese senior national team.<\/p>\n

The former Black Stars skipper, before taking up the head coach job for the second time, was coaching Sudanese side Khartoum Club from December 2014 to April 2017.<\/p>\n

Appiah in his first season in Sudan led the team\u00a0to the CAF Confederation Cup.<\/p>\n

Before his Sudan adventure, Appiah was head coach of the Black Stars, where he guided the team to the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.<\/p>\n

It is alleged that, Kwesi\u00a0Appiah\u2019s technical staff will come from Ghana.<\/p>\n
