The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has announced the dismissal of the head coach of Ghana\u2019s men national team, the Black Stars, CK Akonnor.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GFA announced this in a statement released on its official website and Twitter handle on Monday, September 13, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the statement obtained by African Entertainment, GFA says the decision was taken by its executive council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Akonnor assumed the role after then coach Kwesi Appiah was sacked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his last game in charge, CK Akonnor led the Black Stars to a 1 \u2013 0 defeat in their 2022 Qatar World Cup qualifier in South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is the full statement from GFA<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019s Group G World Cup qualifying matches against Ethiopia and South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Association wishes C.K Akonnor and his Assistants the very best in their future endeavours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ghana currently have three (3) points after the two opening matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Black Stars will take on Zimbabwe in the next round of games in October 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
