Ghana Football Association (GFA) president, Mr Kurt Okraku, has dismissed media reports that he is the manager of C.K. Akonnor, who is the head coach of the Black Stars.
The 45-year-old, who worked with Mr Okraku at Dreams FC as head coach of the club, was unexpectedly named as the successor of Kwesi Appiah whose contract ended in December 31, 2019.
Many have pointed out that the former Asante Kotoko trainer was given the Black Stars job because he is from the camp of the FA president.
But, addressing the media on Monday in Accra, Mr Okraku refuted the media reportage and insisted he worked with Mr Akonnor at Dreams FC just as how he worked with any other clubs.
“He once coached Dreams FC, just as he worked for Eleven Wise, Kotoko, Ashanti Gold, etc.
“I don’t manage C.K. Akonnor or any of the national team coaches. I have a working relationship with C.K. Akonnor,” he said.
Mr Okraku responded to the allegation of conflict of interest in his first meet the press session at the Exim Bank auditorium.
