Ghana FA president Okraku defends decision to hand Akonnor Black Stars job

Ghana Football Association (GFA) boss Kurt Okraku remains convinced about the decision to name CK Akonnor as the new coach of the national side.

The former Black Stars and Wolfsburg captain assumed duty of the team in January, replacing James Kwasi Appiah whose contract expired at the end of last year.

Akonnor's appointment was questioned by a section of fans who had concerns about his level of experience. He never previously coached a team at national level while at club stage, his biggest jobs prior were separate stints with local giants Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak.
