Owner and bankroller of premier league debutants Dreams FC, Kurt Okraku insists that C.K Akunnor is still the head coach of club.
In the club’s emphatic 4 nil victory in midweek against Berekum Chelsea, the team was led by the ex-coach of Asante Kotoko Karim Zito which prompted suggestions that head coach of the club, C.K Akunnor has been shown the exit by the club’s President Kurt Okraku.
However, the executive member of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) expounded on Happy FM sports that C.K Akunnor is still at the helm of the club’s technical team as the head coach and his absence was as a result of a short illness.
“C.K Akunnor is still the head coach of the club. During our match at the Essipong stadium against Medeama SC he had a blackout just before half time and since then he’s been on medication, and unfortunately for us too is that his assistant Wilfred Dormon is not available because of a training course he is attending, and due to that we technically handicapped in terms of personnel”
“And because of these happenings, we decided to bring in our development coach,Karim Zito to steer the club in our midweek encounter against Berekum Chelsea and will be ably supported by Coach Abubakari Damba. And therefore, when you see these two coaches controlling affairs from the touchline is nothing but just a stop gap measure we undertook and we hope coach C.K Akunnor will get well soon to take over as the head.”
C.K Akunnor has been the technical head of Dreams FC since 2015 in which he helped the club win promotion to the elite division of Ghana football from zone 3 of the Division One League.
