Maybe because Appiah is on his way out. I would prefer Almeyda by a huge mile to Cristiano Zanetti as Appiah's 'replacement' (money-wise and quality-wise).
Yes but isn't he quite over the hill. Old, and was injured a long time. I really admired him in his parma days, it might be too late now.
Well he is at least better than Cristiano Zanetti :D.
