Life patron of Asante Kotoko, His Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has given his approval for Kwasi Appiah, the club's technical director, to take on the role of head coach for the Sudan national team.

Appiah had a meeting with Otumfuo Osei Tutu II in London, during which the Asante King offered his blessings for Appiah's new endeavour.

Kwasi Appiah will continue to fulfil his duties as the Technical Director for the Porcupine Warriors while also participating in the Ghana Football Association's Executive Council elections, originally scheduled for September 27 in Tamale but currently on hold.

The former Ghanaian international, who has previously managed the Black Stars in two stints (2013–2014 and 2017–2019), is expected to provide technical leadership for Kotoko as they undertake team restructuring.
