Ex-Ghana star Sam Johnson cautions coach Akonnor as first squad announcement beckons

Former Ghana international Sam Johnson has urged new Black Stars coach CK Akonnor to do away with favouritism to ensure a successful tenure with the national outfit.

The 45-year-old, who replaced James Kwasi Appiah as head coach of the Black Stars last month, is currently on a European tour and scouting mission as he readies to name his first squad ahead of a 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against Sudan next month.

“I am personally happy because we can take care of our own affairs as far as football is concerned,” Johnson, who played for Ghana at four Afcon tournaments between 1994 and 2000, told Goal.
