James Kwesi Appiah has been appointed the new head coach of the Sudanese national team

The former Black Stars coach has inked a three-year deal with the Sudanese Football Federation, according to reports.

Sudan failed to qualify for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) after finishing bottom of Group I in the qualifiers, which contained DR Congo, Mauritania and Gabon.

The Sudanese Football Federation has been in talks with Appiah for months and sees him as the coach to take them to the next level.

Appiah is not new to Sudanese football, having served as head coach of Al Khartoum in December 2014. During his tenure, he led the team to a fourth-place finish in the league and qualification to the Confederation Cup.

The following season, he led the club to its highest points tally per season in club history, 65 points, but they did not qualify for the CAF Confederation Cup.

Appiah’s last major coaching job was as Ghana national team coach, where he had a second stint between 2017 and 2020.
