Ghana midfielder Mubarak Wakaso has expressed his gratitude to former head coach of the Black Stars CK Akonnor.
Akonnor was fired by the Ghana Football Association after the team’s unimpressive form in the 2022 world cup qualifiers against Ethiopia and South Africa.[ads2]
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.
The Executive Council after considering the two reports decided to terminate its relationship with the Head Coach C. K Akonnor and the two Assistants.[ads3]
Expressing his appreciation to the former Black Stars coach, Mubarak Wakaso wrote on his social media page that, “Coach C.K. Akonnor, when I was a little boy in Tamale I watched you play football. Later, I became a ball boy/ player for Gold Fields where you played. You became my coach at the Black Stars. Thank you for everything and best of luck in your next job. I know you will succeed inshallah.”
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.
The Association wished 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.[ads5]
