Former Ghanaian international Tony Yeboah is hoping Black Stars head coach CK Akonnor will get the support he needs to succeed after indicating that it will be key during his time with the team.
Experienced tactician James Kwesi Appiah parted ways with the national team after his contract was not extended by the Ghana Football Association (GFA) following its expiration at the end of December 2019.
In January, the Ghana FA announced that it had appointed coach CK Akonnor to take charge of the Black Stars team. Tagged by many as young and lacking experience, Tony Yeboah says everyone needs to offer the new gaffer the necessary backing.
“It is not about pedigree. He will need support. CK will need support. He can't do it alone. The media, the fans, the players, everybody. The president himself, everybody must support him then we give him a chance", he said in an interview on GTV Sports Plus.
Tony Yeboah added, “Without that CK cannot do anything. So for me I pray CK should have all these things because when you don't have it he should forget it. It is the support. Without the support you cannot do anything”.
