We qualified the Black Stars to the World Cup in Brazil,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter that, Appiah left and I was asked to coach the national team on an interim basis, and I qualified the team for Afcon 2015. That\u2019s when Avram Grant came in, and we went to the final of the Afcon and got beaten by Ivory Coast on penalties.
