Glico Group of Companies have taken the responsibility of insuring the Coach of the Senior National team James Akwasi Appiah to the tune of GHC 50,000.
This presentation was made at brief ceremony at the Ghana Football Association Headquarters today.According to Glico, the decision to honour Coach Appiah was as result of the destitute nature of most of the former players who have featured for the Black Stars over the years.General Manager in charge of Pensions and Trustees, Dr Francis Grant was of the opinion that the company saw it right to undertake this venture for the period in which Appiah was coach of the Black Stars to alleviate any unforeseen challenges that may arise when he is no more in charge of the team.
Executive Committee member of the Ghana Football Association Mr. George Afriyie who stood in for FA President Kwesi Nyantakyi also took the opportunity to urge the Insurance Company to look at the other National products like the junior teams which also need the support of corporate institutions.He added that, though the Black Stars was the biggest sporting brand, the corporate world should also consider supporting the other sports brands.The company also made a personal donation to of GHC 2,000.00 and Glico branded T-shirts to the Stars Head Coach and promised to support him to meet his targets.Coach Kwasi Appiah expressed gratitude to Glico and promised to do his best as coach of the National team.In a gesture that will clearly touch the hearts and minds of Ghanaians, Appiah immediately donated a GHC 1000.00 of the amount to the Retired Footballers Association of Ghana and a further GHC 500.00 each to Messrs Jones Attuquayefio and Emmanuel Quarshie who have been battling life threatening ailments over the last few years.Attuquayefio has been battling throat cancer while Quarshie recently benefited from the benevolence of former club and Egyptian giants Zamalek who sponsored an all expenses paid trip to Cairo for the ex stars coach to be treated of the Parkinson disease.
