Black Stars head coach, Charles Kwablan Akonnor has received his outstanding salary for seven months, according to Black Stars Management Committee chairman, George Amoako.
Several reports in the local media suggested that Akonnor had not been paid for the past 7 months by the Ghana Football Association.
Speaking on the matter, Mr. George Amoakoh debunked those reports, insisting that the former Asante Kotoko and Hearts Of Oak trainer has been paid salary arrears owed him.
“The statement of CK Akonnor been owed is false and that’s the fact,” the Black Stars management committee chairman told Angel 102.9 FM in an interview.
“He has been paid 7 straight months.”
With the head coach’s arrears now sorted, attention will be turned towards the Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifiers, which begins next month – with Ghana playing South Africa and Ethiopia in the first two games.
Akonnor will also lead Ghana for the upcoming 2021 Africa Cup of Nations to be held in Cameroon. Ghana has been drawn alongside Morocco, Comoros Island and Gabon in Group C.
The African powerhouse will be hoping to end their 42-year old trophy drought.
