Speaking in an interview on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem on Tuesday, 14th September 2021, Joseph Emmanuel Sarpong revealed that he had a hint of the Ghana Football Association’s plan to sack C.K Akonnor but all his efforts to alert him proved futile.
“Coming events cast their shadows; CK Akonnor should have seen this coming because the plan to sack him was hatched a long time ago”, he said on the show.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has terminated CK Akonnor’s contract, citing the Black Stars’ poor performances in World Cup and African Cup qualifiers. As a result, a three-member committee chaired by Kurt Okraku, President of the GFA, has been tasked with finding his replacement within 72 hours.
It’s unclear whether they’ll hire a local or international coach for the Black Stars. Some Ghanaians have already expressed their displeasure with the choice to hire a foreign coach.
Coach Sarpong revealed that the three-member committee set to find a new coach to replace C.K Akonnor is only a delusional act but they already have someone in mind to take over that position.
However, he expressed his displeasure in C.K Akonnor’s refusal to resign as the Black Stars’ coach when it was very clear that the GFA is plotting against him.
