Former Black Stars Management Committee Chairman, Mr. Yaw Boateng Gyan has berated Black Stars head coach C.K Akonnor for stabbing his former boss Kwasi Appiah in the back by taking the Black Stars job.

Kwasi Appiah was sacked in December 2019 but before his sacking, he had appointed C.K Akonnor as his assistant coach before his exit.

After he was shown the door by the Kurt Okraku led administration, his assistant coach he appointed C.K Akonnor was made the new coach.

The former NDC National Organizer says that Akonnor decision to take over from his former boss Kwasi Appiah was a stab in the back as he should have declined the job offer.

He says for the sake of loyalty Akonnor should have left with his boss when he was sacked as Black Stars head coach.

“If they sacked Kwesi Appiah, then it wasn’t appropriate to appoint CK Akonnor as his assistant”, he told 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.

He added: “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 as to do with coaching and the way we select players to the Black Stars”.
