Burkina Faso FA Opens Talks with James Kwesi Appiah Over Senior National Team Job

The Burkina Faso Football Federation has reportedly made contact with James Kwesi Appiah over the possibility of appointing him as the next head coach of the senior men’s national team.

Sources close to the situation indicate that initial discussions have been held as the federation explores options to strengthen the technical direction of the Stallions. The move signals Burkina Faso’s intent to bring in an experienced African tactician with a strong track record at international level.

Kwesi Appiah, a former head coach of Ghana’s Black Stars, is currently in charge of the Sudan national football team. His experience includes leading Ghana to the FIFA World Cup and overseeing multiple Africa Cup of Nations campaigns, credentials that make him an attractive candidate for the Burkinabè federation.

While talks are believed to be at an exploratory stage, the development could set the stage for a significant coaching shake-up in West African football should negotiations progress further. Neither federation has officially confirmed the outcome of the discussions, but the coming weeks are expected to provide more clarity on Appiah’s future.
