C.K. Akonnor sacked

C.K Akonnor has been sacked from his position as the head coach of the Ghana national team, the Black Stars. This does not come a surprise to Ghanaians as the former Black Stars captain’s tactics has always been questioned by Ghanaians.

After losing to South Africa in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, Ghanaians started calling on the Ghanaian Football Association to sack him as they believe he cannot lead the team to the World Cup.

Below is the statement from the GFA

The Executive Council of the Ghana Football Association has taken a decision to terminate the appointment of Black Stars Coach Charles Akonnor and his two Assistants with immediate effect. This follows the receipt of the Technical Report from the Head Coach of the Senior National Team and the report from the Black Stars Management Committee following Ghana’s Group G World Cup qualifying matches against Ethiopia and South Africa.

The Executive Council after considering the two reports have decided to terminate its relationship with the Head Coach C. K Akonnor and the two Assistants.

The 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.

The Association wishes C.K Akonnor and his Assistants the very best in their future endeavours.

Ghana currently have three (3) points after the two opening matches.

The Black Stars will take on Zimbabwe in the next round of games in October 2021.
