Former Black Stars defender, John Paintsil believes the decision to sack Black Stars head coach, C.K Akonnor was rushed and should have been waited.
Akonnor was fired by the GFA after a poor start to Ghana 2022 World Cup Qualifiers which has seen the Black Stars drop to third in Group G.
According to Paintsil, Akonnor had what it took to salvage the situation and should have been allowed to grow with the team.
“I would say that it is rather unfortunate, this is not the right time at all, he should have been given time to work on the team.
“When you look at his statistics and what he has done, you can tell that he came at the wrong time, and he didn’t get the chance to camp the players enough before most of the games’.
The Executive council of the GFA has set up a three (3) Member Committee made up of Vice President Mark Addo, Upper East Regional Football Association Chairman, Alhaji Salifu Zida and Dr. Randy Abbey to find a Head Coach and Assistant Coaches for the Black Stars within the next few hours.
Ghana will take on Zimbabwe next month in the next round of 2022 World Cup Qualifiers.
