A former Ghana goalkeeper, Abukari Damba, has thrown his support behind new Black Stars coach, CK Akonnor, asking the FA not interfere with his work.
Mr Damba believes Akonnor will only succeed when his work is not interfered with.
“CK has learnt a lot from his predecessors. Looking at the personality of CK Akonnor, he is a person with a German attitude and cannot be compromised,” Damba told Happy FM.
“We need to give him the freedom to work and he will bring in the players who can help the country.
“I know he will do broader consultations and rely on people who can help him do the job.
“I hope football administrators will stay away from influencing him. The way I know him, he will not tolerate anybody who dares to influence him.”
Akonnor who has coached the two biggest clubs in the country has replaced James Kwasi Appiah as the new coach on a two-year deal.
The 45-year-old will be deputized by David Duncan.
He has been tasked to lead Ghana to Africa Cup of Nations glory and 2022 World Cup qualification.
Akonnor’s first assignment is a 2021 Afcon qualifying double-header against Sudan.
The World Cup qualifiers start in October 5.
