CK Akonnor

Former Ghana Black stars Head coach, C.K Akunnor has opened up the first time since his dismissal.

The GFA top hierarchy relieved Akunnor of his duties on Monday following Ghana’s topsy-turvy start to the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.

Assistant coaches David Duncan and Dutchman Patrick Graveraars have also been given the sack.

”I’m grateful to H.E President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the Sports Ministry, my former boss Kwesi Appiah, the leadership of the GFA, colleagues I worked with, players and Ghanaians for the opportunity to serve. Wishing the team all the best. Thank you Ghana,” he wrote on his official Twitter page.

The former Wolfsburg captain has been at the helm of affairs for the Black Stars in almost two years.

Meanwhile, the GFA Executive Council has formed a three (3) Member Committee made up of Vice President Mark Addo, Upper East Regional Football Association Chairman, Alhaji Salifu Zida and Dr. Randy Abbey to find a Head Coach and Assistant Coaches for the Black Stars within the next 72 hours.
