Ghana coach, Charles Kwabla Akonnor says nobody asked him to be a coach after receiving a lot of backlash from Ghanaians in Mali’s defeat.
The former Asante Kotoko coach first game for the national team ended in a 3-0 defeat to West Africa powerhouse, Mali in Antalya, Turkey.
That generated heated criticism from most football circles; and to the Black Stars trainer, it’s disturbing to receive several backlashes from Ghanaians but says nobody asked him to be a coach.
He has, therefore, promised Ghanaians will enjoy watching the Black Stars again.
“I can understand their disappointment. I have read a few of their comments, and it’s disturbing but, nobody asked me to be a Coach that is what we are made of.
“I have accepted the criticisms in good faith. I am a Ghanaian and I want to go the Ghanaian way but things would change and we will enjoy watching the team again”, Akonnor told GFA media.
Akonnor will hope for improved performance and win against Asian champions Qatar on Monday later today.
The two friendly games are part of the Black Stars’ preparations for next month’s double-header Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Sudan.
