Kwesi Appiah must resign if he fails in World Cup qualifiers - legend Razak

Posted On Tuesday, 19th February 2013
Former African Footballer of the Year Abdul Razak says Ghana coach Kwasi Appiah must resign if he fails to qualify the Black Stars for the 2014 World Cup.

Kwesi Appiah will continue to lead the Black Stars

Former African Footballer of the Year Abdul Razak says Ghana coach Kwasi Appiah must resign if he fails to qualify the Black Stars for the 2014 World Cup.

Appiah, who led Ghana to a fourth place finish at the recent Africa Cup of Nations, has been retained in the job despite failing to bring the trophy home.

With the World Cup qualifiers scheduled to start next month with the Black Stars  hosting Sudan in Kumasi, Ghanaians are keen on reaching the tournament in Brazil in 2014.

The former Kotoko Coach is convinced that qualification to the Mundial will place Kwasi Appiah’s job back on the rail, after the disappointing fourth place finish at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Abdul Razak, who was named the continent’s best player in 1978, after Ghana’s third title, says qualifying to the world’s biggest football competition for a third time is a must.

“There is a World Cup coming up and if we qualify then it means he has learnt his lessons but If we are not able to qualify nobody should tell him (Kwasi Appiah) where to go next, of course I won’t say he will go, if it is me I will go out”. He told JOY Sports.

“We want to win the African Cup and also qualify for the World Cup, we couldn’t win the Nations Cup and if the World Cup also elude us would you be happy yourself, surely he will go”.

Ghana will play Sudan at home on 23rd March in the 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign.

    Ao…Abdul Razak…thank you! Thank you! Look, I will rather prefer the black stars be given to you….cos u went outside…and coached…..then u came in and won the local league with kotoko….you are trying and have been involved with other teams like RTU. I salute you Razak! But where did Akwasi Appiah go….? NOWHERRE! He managed to sit under 3 coaches people….3 different coaches with different styles and techniques….and tell me what he learned? We all saw it at the nations cup! Idiot! And when idiots run your nations football…what do you get? ghana is doomed with the way some of our so called leaders think….simple common sense sef, dem no get!

  2. STUPID GHANAIAN says:

    I don’t see Brazil 2014 with A.A. in place. I see more and more tears for innocent soccer funs.

  3. isaac antonio says:

    razak has hit the nail right.kwesi appiah must be sack,b/cos i can’t understand why this coach must stay in office after performing poorly to the extend that there were players indiscipline that he can’t control yet they found it prudent to keep him.

  4. STUPID GHANAIAN says:

    Bloody rubber stamp!!!!!

  5. tuna says:

    the thing is that he cant qualify us to the world cup….

  6. Ajax says:

    God bless u Golden Boy.tell them heart breakers.

  7. cool says:

    If the football organizers in Ghana, think they can qualify for Brazil 2014, with players like Derek Boateng and Asamoah Gyan,I can assure you that it will not happen. What we need is a football admistrator, who can spot talent and make the right selection.The coach also need help by bringing in a couple of former Black Star players to help him, when the going gets tough.

  8. BX, NYC says:

    We all saw how incompetent and useless the coach is during the Nations Cup… Why should we wait until we’re disappointed again in order for him to resign??? Let’s call a spade a spade and SACK the guy before it’s too late… I’ve lived in Ghana and also lived overseas all my life..And I can tell you the mentality of an indigenous coach is entirely different from someones with international exposure.. They simply just think different with no sense of urgency… Akwasi Appiah is simply not a leader nor a coach..No tactics, formation and lacks vision.. I thought when you’re hired to do a job and you lack performance, you simply get demoted??? What’s with the heart breaks GFA???? Please think rationally….

  9. Buju says:

    I don’t know why Dominic Adiyiah has been forgotten by Ghanaians so soon even though he is playing well at clu why AA didn’t choose him and j.Ayew. Is because of these pay and advert me journalist in Ghana or what

  10. Quincy Owusu-Abeyie says:

    I surprised with comments attributed to Razak. What good would it be for Ghana to sack Akwasi Appiah once he fails to qualify BECAUSE the harm would have been done already. We need a coach who would not be influence. The GFA should stop being greedy by influencing him, Its OK if you want to influence him to add one or two players just to put them on the bench but to overlook decent players and taking more than 10 average players is an insult to not only Ghanaian but every football fan.

    • GHFUO, BE SERIOUS NOT PRIDEFUL! says:

      THANK U MAN.IF GH FAILS TO QUALIFY TO WCUP. I THINK AA MUST BE MAINTAINED. KONADU SHOULD TAKE OVER ASAP. AA IS CARRYING BAGGAGE FROM AFCON 2012….TILL NOW. UNLOAD HIM NOW OR ELSE ………….

  11. gentle john says:

    He cant qualify us to the World Cup so must be force to resign or sacked now,i don’t know what is wrong with Kwesi Nyatakyi and his gang,i just don’t understand why they want destroy the Black Stars by given to Incompetent Kwesi Appiah,they must know that it is the Black Stars that unite this nation.

  12. George says:

    the major problem with some Ghaianians is witchcraft.they are tribalistically envious and that will take them on early. u want AA to be sacked b’cos Ghana placed 4th. even ivory coast with their best were kicked,and who knew nigeria will win the cup.or do u want AA to hold the players legs for penalties.aaba leave this man alone u wizards,for our money will never go into the pocket of the whites,as for abdul Razak,it is only God who knows where he will end up as coach.

    • maka says:

      are we ivory coast george? we are not ivory coast…and everyone knows that they are perennial flops! by the way, if a better coach..or let me even use the ivorian coach…was handling the black stars, we would have seen a formation….we would have dominated games….and trust me we wud have gone further…rather than on luck. if ghana was in the ivory coast group, u think we cud have beaten them….or algeria?….whaaat? in fact, and even going to meet nigerai wud have been embarassment…so stop the useles “payola” u are doing for appiah! he was playing players in all d wrong positions and believing that any player can play anywhere….thats d mentality of any uselss coach! cos u can play anyone anywhere….but will u get desired results? if u do…then its by luck or sheer determination of the players…not d useless “play anywhere”"

  13. lalasu says:

    l dont think Razak is being helpful cos saying this will put more pressure on AA rather than making him to be efficient. we all want our own to coach the team so the rest should offer their support rather than trying to put pressure on others to perform

  14. GHFUO, BE SERIOUS NOT PRIDEFUL! says:

    AA MUST BE FIRED NOW. KONADU ALONE SHOULD TAKE OVER N WORK WITH TETTEH N DRAMANI IF HE WANTS. APPIAH IS EXTRA BAGGAGE, DEAD WEIGHT. LET HIM BE A SCOUT OR SMTHING. THE GUY IS SIMPLY NOT A COACH
