Veteran journalist and President of the Sports Writers Association of Ghana Kwabena Yeboah believes C.K. Akonnor must be the next Black Stars coach after Kwasi Appiah.

The experienced sport journalist believes the Asante Kotoko gaffer’s technical and tactical competence are apt enough to make him the head coach of Ghana’s senior national team.

Speaking to Class FM in Accra, Kwabena Yeboah expressed confidence that Akonnor is best placed to take over from Appiah.

“He’s good enough to handle the national team,” he said.

“I don’t know what C.K requires again to be able to handle the national team.

“He’s the reason I think we don’t need any expatriate coach to handle the national team.

“I think Kwasi Appiah is good enough but if at a point Kwasi feels that he needs to exit, we still have C.K Akonnor to take over.

“So far, I think that he has been brilliant,” Kwabena Yeboah added.

C.K Akonnor, a former captain of the national team has been lauded for his impressive spell at Kotoko so far.

His latest victory was a 3-0 win at home over Nkana FC in the ongoing CAF Confederations Cup over the weekend.
