Former head coach for Black Stars, CK Akonnor, has revealed that working with the senior national football team is not the highlight of his career.
Speaking on Kumasi-based Akoma FM, he said his time with Asante Kotoko is most memorable.
“I enjoyed my coaching moments at Kotoko more than the Black Stars. My stint with Kotoko has been the highest point in my coaching career. But at Kotoko even though there was not a proper season because of the Anas Expose we had a solid preseason and that really helped us,” he said.
According to CK Akonnor, during his time with the Black Stars, the team was struggling.
He indicated that at an appropriate time, he would share his days with the Black Stars with the public.
“I enjoyed every moment I had at Kotoko more than any job I have ever done as a coach. Black Stars at my time was struggling, the whole team was not stable, sometimes when making a call up you don’t even know how many players to call. At black Stars, it was a different story and one day I will tell it,” Akonnor, who is also a former Hearts of Oak trainer added.
CK Akonnor led Asante Kotoko to the CAF Confederation Cup group stages in 2019 but was sacked in 2019 and later appointed as the Black Stars coach to replace James Kwasi Appiah in January 2020.
In September 2021, the Executive Council of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) have terminated the appointment of Black Stars Coach, Charles Akonnor and his two Assistants with immediate effect.
This followed the receipt of the technical reports from Akonnor and the Black Stars Management Committee, following Ghana’s Group G World Cup qualifying matches against Ethiopia and South Africa.
