Tanko opens up falling out with Kwasi Appiah, losing Ghana assistant coaching position

Former Ghana assistant coach Ibrahim Tanko has revealed he lost his Black Stars job in 2019 because of suspicions of him undermining then-head coach James Kwasi Appiah.

After two years with the four-time African champions, the ex-Borussia Dortmund striker was surprisingly relieved of his post which was later filled up by CK Akonnor.

Akonnor has gone on to become head coach following Appiah's exit from the job while Tanko has taken up a role as head coach of the Ghana B side.

“I heard a lot of things. In Ghana we talk a lot, that Kwasi said I was undermining because I wanted his job," Tanko said, as reported by Citi Sports.
