Ignatius Osei-Fosu, assistant coach of the Sudanese national football team, has confidently stated that he can handle the Black Stars job.

The former Medeama and Techiman Eleven Wonders trainer played a key role, working under ex-Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah, as the North Africans clinched their place at the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.

Sudan was in the same AFCON qualifiers group as Ghana and defeated the Black Stars in Libya to secure their place in the tournament.
