Immediate past Ghana coach, CK Akonnor has expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to serve as the head of the Ghana senior male national team.
The former Ghana international was fired as the Black Stars head coach on Monday by the Ghana Football Association after the team’s unimpressive form in the 2022 world cup qualifiers against Ethiopia and South Africa.
The Executive Council of the Ghana FA took the decision to terminate the appointment of CK Akonnor and his two Assistants following 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.[ads2]
The Executive Council after considering the two reports decided to terminate its relationship with the Head Coach C. K Akonnor and the two Assistants.
Speaking for the very first time after his sacking, coach CK Akonnor has expressed his gratitude to President Akufo-Addo, the Sports Ministry, the Ghana FA and former boss Kwasi Appiah for the confidence to hand him the Black Stars coaching job in the first place.[ads3]
“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” Akonnor tweeted.
Meanwhile, 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.[ads4]
