Asamoah Gyan, general captain of the national team says their coach Charles Kwablan Akonnor will quit his job is interfered with. Coach Akonnor 45 was named the new main coach of the black stars taking over from the former coach Kwesi Appiah on 31st December last year.
Mr. Akonnor, former coach of Hearts of Oak and Kotoko football team has the required experience to coach the national team but will quit his job if steered by others.
“C.K. is a man of his word. I have had a meeting with him and people who are close to him can testify that no one can dictate to him,” he told Adom TV’s Agoro ne Fom with Kweku Obeng Mystro.
“He will do what favors him as a coach in the sense that when things do not go on well, he takes the blame.
“We Ghanaians should allow the coach to do his work. He should take control of the national team so that when things go wrong, he can be blamed.
“If you [force] players on him and he doesn’t perform, who are you going to blame? But I think C.K. has played in Germany and with his mentality, no one can dictate to him.
“I’m reliably informed that he quit most of the clubs [he coached] because he didn’t want anyone to dictate for him.
“He has coached the big clubs in the country. He has gone through the ranks and still improving himself so I think we should give him the support to do the job,” he added.
