The pairing of Otto Addo, the current Ghana coach, and Kwasi Appiah, the former Ghana coach and current manager of Sudan, has sparked discussions. Appiah led the Black Stars to the 2014 World Cup and the 2019 AFCON.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKwasi Appiah is a Ghanaian, and he knows how we approach games,\u201d Kingston told 3Sports after the draw. \u201cHe knows a lot of positives about Ghanaians and our mindset, so I think it\u2019s going to be very difficult for us. Kwasi Appiah will have an advantage as he knows us more than Otto will know the Sudanese players.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Appiah\u2019s success with Sudan in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers strengthens Kingston\u2019s point. Sudan currently tops Group B with 10 points after four matches.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I were in Kwasi Appiah\u2019s shoes now, it would be a game I would be looking forward to,\u201d Kingston continued. \u201cThere are so many things I will have to prove and show that I still have what it takes to lead this country. It is going to be one of the best games in Otto\u2019s time with the Black Stars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The qualifiers are scheduled to begin in September 2024 and conclude in November 2024.
