Ghana National Team, Blackstars head coach, Charles Akonnor and his two assistants have been sacked by the football federation on Monday, September 13th, 2021.
This comes, as no surprise to many football loving fans and the teaming supporters of the Blackstars, who have been calling for his head for sometime now, especially over the recent performances in the opening qualifying games for 2022 World cup.
In a statement released via the website of the football Association, it states;
“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.
However, the GFA’s executive council has set up a 3 member committee to immediately look for a new head coach for the Blackstars ahead of the return of the world cup qualifiers in October this year. The members who have been given a 72hours ultimatum comprises of Vice President Mark Addo, Upper East Regional Football Association Chairman, Alhaji Salifu Zida and Dr. Randy Abbey.
C.K Akonnor coached the Blackstars to 11 competitive games, winning four, drawing two and losing five in his a little over a year spell incharge.
