“I made mistakes. I’ve learned a lot from that area. If I get the chance again it would be different in how I go about things,” he told Asempa FM on the Sports Nite Show.

Akonnor, a former VfL Wolfsburg and Ghana captain after overseeing 10 games had a 40% win rate, having won four, lost four, and drawn two.

He was replaced by Serbian trainer Milovan Rajevac who was also fired after the Black Stars’ poor performance at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations [AFCON].
