The Ghanaian FA (Ghana)

The Ghanaian Football Association decided to offer Kwesi Appiah an improved contract in August, in spite of his several man-management failures in Brazil. That decision ultimately backfired after Appiah lost the confidence of his players, supporters, and, the administration. Not only were the FA, then, forced to fork over a hefty compensation package, but they also began a recruiting process in an attempt to find a worthy successor. That process continues and the Black Stars have had to manage with interim coach Maxwell Kamudo. The interruption has generated on-the-pitch effects, when Ghana drew with Guinea on Saturday. Off of the pitch, a culture of listlessness has emerged with regards to this dysfunctional Ghanaian national team.
