A former Black Stars management committee member, Yaw Boateng Gyan, says Charles Kwabla Akonnor should have distanced himself from the Black Stars job after Kwesi Appiah was sacked.
Akonnor, 46, was named as the substantial coach for the senior national team on a two-year deal in January 2020.
The former Asante Kotoko trainer was drafted into the Black Stars by Kwesi Appiah prior to the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations [Afcon] qualifiers in October 2019.
Appiah's contract was not renewed by the Ghana Football Association [GFA] after the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations [Afcon] in Egypt.
According to the former Black Stars management committee member, Akonnor accepting the role as head coach of the Black Stars was a betrayal to Kwesi Appiah.
“If they sacked Kwesi Appiah, then it wasn’t appropriate to appoint CK Akonnor as his assistant”, the Chief Executive Officer of Division One League side, Bofoakwa Tano told Accra based Happy FM.
“CK Akonnor should have also rejected the offer when he was asked to take over the job from his boss Kwesi Appiah. It was a stab in the back.
“If the GFA claims the head coach (Kwesi Appiah) was not good then his deputy is also not competent for the job”.
The former National Organizer of the NDC also called for CK Akonnor’s sacking after Ghana’s defeat to South Africa in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
“In my view, we should be honest with ourselves and sack CK Akonnor. We have a lot of talents here in the country but the problem has to do with coaching and the way we select players to the Black Stars."
The Ghana Football Association will hold a meeting on Friday to review the performance of the Black Stars in their last games played in the 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifiers and the future of CK Akonnor.
