Right to Dream Academy are confident newly appointed Black Stars coach Charles Kwablan Akonnor who previously worked with them will succeed.

The 45-year-old was appointed head coach of the senior national by the Ghana Football Association on a two-year and is expected to be unveiled by the weekend.

Coach Akonnor has vast experience, having managed Ghana Premier League giants Hearts of Oak, Asante Kotoko, Ashanti Gold SC and Sekondi Eleven Wise.

He was made captain of the Black Stars after Abedi Pele and made 41 appearances.

Tom Vernon, who is founder of the Academy which now owns FC Norsjelland in the Danish top-flight believes CK Akonnor will deliver for the Black Stars.

"Obviously we are very proud that C.K. has landed this job. He came through here and showed a great desire to learn and develop himself.  Since then he has gone ahead to coach the biggest clubs in the country in Hearts and Kotoko and can only grow into bigger platforms.

"His work ethic developed from here is great and I am confident that he can achieve a lot with the support from all. The training here for coaches also helps to adopt Ghanaian values in growing their leadership and management skills as well as expertise in the sport," Tom Vernon told Joy Sports.
