This was revealed in a statement released by the Ghana Football Association which indicates that C.K Akonnor and his two assistants have been relieved of duties.

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 has appointed a three-member committee, consisting of Vice President Mark Addo, Chairman of the Upper East Regional Football Association, Alhaji Salifu Zida, and Dr. Randy Abbey, to choose a Head Coach and Assistant Coach for the Black Stars within the next 72 hours.

As a reminder, C.K Akonnor was appointed as the head coach of the senior national team in January 2019.

However, throughout his stint in charge of the Black Stars, the former Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko manager failed to impress.

He had a win rate of just 40% in ten games, winning four, losing four, and drawing two. The lackluster 1-0 loss to South Africa in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers was the final nail in his coffin.

A three-member team comprised of Vice President Mark Addo, Upper East Regional Football Association Chairman Alhaji Salifu Zida, and Dr. Randy Abbey has been entrusted with appointing a new coach for the Black Stars, according to the GFA release.
