Ghana will in the next 72 hours name a successor to fired Charles Akonnor who lost his job after Ghana's woeful start to the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.

The Black Stars managed a hard fought win which was down to luck rather than anything against Ethiopia before they were found out against South Africa in a 1-0 loss in Johannesburg.

Vice President of the Ghana Football Association(GFA), Mark Addo has been tasked to chair the three member committee set up by the GFA's Executive Council to lead the search for a new coach with 72 hours which is in three days time.

Ghana is expected to name a new coach and his assistant by Thursday as announced by the Ghana Football Association.

The Executive Council of the Ghana Football Association has terminated the appointment of Black Stars Coach Charles Akonnor and his two Assistants with immediate effect.

The committee which has Dr. Randy Abbey and Upper East Regional Football Association Chairman, Alhaji Salifu Zida as members have been tasked to find a Head Coach and Assistant Coaches for the Black Stars within the next 72 hours.

Akonnor and his two assistant coaches David Duncan and Patrick Greveraars have paid the price with their jobs after dismal start in the opening two games in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.

The Black Stars under C.K Akonnor managed just a single goal in his last four matches and won just four games out of 11 losing 5 and drawing two since his appointment in January 2020.

He chalked up a win percentage of a shambolic 40% with his team struggling even against minnows on the continent.
