CK Akonnor was the assistant coach of the Black Stars between 2019-2020 and was appointed as the head coach from 2020 to 2021.
When it comes to the issue of Black stars and coaching, the former skipper for the national team knows a thing or two.
Speaking with Akoma FC, the former Asante Kotoko boss told Ghanaians to be patient for Otto Addo to build the team.
“A coach has been assigned for a couple of years, which means he will have a good plan to follow. It also means that we, as a country, should be patient while the coach has time to impart his knowledge to the team and then excel.
“What we do know is that the team is in a bad state right now, so we need to start over, making sure everything goes well, and hopefully, before we get the chance to qualify for the World Cup and the next AFCON, we will improve our standards,” said CK.
“I hope things improve quickly because there is too much negativity on the team, and the only way to change people’s minds is for us to be successful and win convincingly,” continued CK Akonnor.
CK Akonnor bemoaned the negativity around the Black Stars as he declared that the only way to silence the negativity is to win convincingly.
“We need to start strong, win matches, and play an appealing game. This should be the team’s immediate plan, and I believe Otto Addo can do it.
CK Akonnor declared his support for Otto Addo to bring the team back to winning ways. The Black Stars of Ghana are winless in 2024 and will return to competitive football in June when they travel to Bamako to face Mali.
