APPIAH GIVEN AFCON TARGET

Newly appointed Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah has been set a target of winning the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.

The 56 year old former Black Stars defender is returning as Ghana coach on a two-year contract in place of Avram Grant.

The Black Stars have not won the continent's flagship tournament since beating Libya in a penalty shoot-out in Tripoli in 1982.

Ghana begin their 2019 qualifying campaign against Ethiopia next month, and Appiah has vowed not to repeat the mistakes that led to his dismissal after the 2014 World Cup, a tournament damaged by a bonus row.
