Sacking Ghana coach CK Akonnor is too early – Yaw Preko
Former Ghana international Yaw Preko says sacking CK Akonnor as Black Stars coach is too early.
Coach Akonnor has come under huge criticism following Ghana’s unconvincing performances in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Black Stars won 1-0 against Ethiopia on matchday one but lost 1-0 to South Africa at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg in their second Group G game on Monday.
It was the sixth time his team had failed to win a match, three of his four victories as head coach coming against teams placed lower than 120 on the Fifa ranking.
“The sacking is too early, it’s just two games,” Preko, who featured at the 2000 Africa Cup of Nations, told Joy Sports.
“He has already qualified us to the Afcon and we just played two matches so why do we have to push the panic button? No, we have to take it easy.
“I know how everybody is feeling. If you sack him now and bring another coach and we don’t qualify, he will tell you his time was very short and that you need to give him time. If he doesn’t qualify, are you going to sack him too? Then we’ll end up just always sacking.
“Let’s give him the support and benefit of the doubt. We know he can do it, we have to believe in him. Sometimes when the bashing is too much, the person gets confused.”
