The decision to appoint Appiah, a former Ghana captain, was taken by the FA's executive committee after approving the report of the six-man coaching search committee, the GFA said on Tuesday, reports Xinhua news agency.
Appiah, who supervised Ghana's participation at the 2014 FIFA world cup in Brazil, is expected to sign a two-year contract.
