The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has officially written to Coach Kwasi Appiah, terminating his 26- month contract as coach of the Black Stars.
The one-page letter which thanked Appiah for his “diligent work” did not contain the reasons for the termination of the contract that was expected to end on August 31, 2016.
The letter, however, stated that the GFA would use clause 11 of their eight-page contract with Appiah, signed on May 23, 2014, to settle the issue of a severance package for the former Stars coach.
Clause 11 of the contract which took effect on August 1, 2014 headlined "Termination with Notice" states that: “Notwithstanding the provisions of clause 9 and 10 herein above, either party may terminate this Agreement by giving a three (3) months written notice to each party or in lieu of three (3) months’ salary”.
Despite initial communication from the GFA suggesting the coach was shown the exit after 26 months in charge due to his public pronouncement that he did not request for a technical adviser, the letter made no such reference.
Appiah was sacked last week , less than 24 hours after leading the Black Stars to beat the Hawks of Togo 3-2 in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Lome.
