2022 World Cup Qualifiers: Akonnor is manipulated at Black Stars - Veteran Ghanaian coach Sarpong

The former Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak man shares his thoughts on the Black Stars' performance under the ex-national captain

Renowned Ghanaian coach JE Sarpong believes the Black Stars’ poor performance under coach CK Akonnor is partly a result of interference in his player selections.

The Black Stars have struggled to shine under the former Wolfsburg captain, having won 1, drawn one and lost two of their last four matches.

A 1-0 defeat to South Africa in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers on Monday, where the Stars failed to get a single shot on target, has heightened calls for his dismissal.
