He will then assemble a squad to play Mexico and the United States of America in two friendly matches.

In August, he will be in-charge of the local Black Stars to play a two-legged tie against Burkina Faso in the final round qualifier of the 2018 African Nations Championship (CHAN).

Appiah has been handed a two-year contract and will officially start work on 01 May.
