Former Black Stars coach, Kwasi Appiah, is set to be appointed as Asante Kotoko manager, according to local media reports.<\/p>\n

The Porcupine Warriors are currently without a permanent coach after the sacking of Seydou Zerbo.<\/p>\n

The Burkinabe trainer was shown the exit following the 2-0 home defeat to Medeama SC last month.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, Abdul Gazale, has been the interim boss.<\/p>\n

Appiah has reached an agreement in principle with the club, subject to the approval of Nana Yaw Amponsah, the Chief Executive Officer and the club\u2019s board according to reports.<\/p>\n

Appiah has been without a club since leaving Kenpong Soccer Academy earlier this year.<\/p>\n

He has managed the Black Stars at two Africa Cup of Nations tournaments and the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.<\/p>\n

His vast experience and legendary status at the club might play a key role ahead of other local coaches the club has spoken to.<\/p>\n

With the Porcupines, Kwasi Appiah won seven Ghana Premier League titles and the African Champions League in 1983.<\/p>\n

Kotoko play their next game against Premier League leaders, Aduana Stars, at the Baba Yara Stadium in the matchday 27 games on Sunday.<\/p>\n
