Coach James Kwasi Appiah |
Kwasi Appiah replaces Serbian Goran Stevanovic, who was sacked last month following the Black Stars' failure to reach the African Nations Cup final earlier this year.
A statement from the Ghana Football Association read: "The Ghana Football Association has appointed James Kwasi Appiah as the substantive head coach of the Black Stars.
"The executive committee of the GFA confirmed the appointment of the former international at a meeting in Accra on Monday April 9, 2012.
"The meeting was called to discuss the head-hunting exercise undertaken by the GFA to find a permanent Black Stars coach.
"Appiah will meet the Executive Committee of the GFA on Tuesday, April 10, to formalise the deal.''
Ghana made it to the African Nations Cup semi-final but went down to eventual winners Zambia. They then lost the third-place play-off 2-0 to Mali.
