Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah says he is own man and does not need the help of a technical director to carry out his duties as Black Stars coach.
Early this week, there was publication by a local football portal claiming Klaus Topmoller has held talks with the Ghana Football Association as technical director should the Black Stars seal a 2014 World Cup berth.
The Ghana FA has squashed that rumour and expressed their support for Appiah to handle the team.
Appiah, who masterminded Ghana�s 6-1 World Cup playoff first leg win, does not to be distracted by the �false report�.
�My concentration is on the Egypt game and nobody has told me anything about any technical director,� the ex-Ghana captain told AllSport.com.gh.
�I signed a contract which ends after the World Cup so nothing has been discussed.
�As for working with others, it depends on how you put it. For instance I can need some guys with good technical ability to scout or monitor some teams for me.
�That is something that can be done and I have always been doing that so that is not a big deal. As for a technical director I don�t know what role he will play.
�Ghana has a technical director already so I don�t know where that is coming from.�
Ghana will play Egypt in the return leg on 19 November.
