Former Black Stars and Asante Kotoko coach, Charles Kwablan Akonnor has rated his last two jobs as a coach.
According to C.K Akonnor, he enjoyed his stay at the fabulous club due to the support he enjoyed from management and supporters during the CAF Confederations Cup campaign in 2019.
“Of course, I enjoyed my coaching moments at Kotoko more than the Black Stars. My stint with Kotoko has been the highest point in my coaching career.
“But at Kotoko even though there was not a proper season because of the Anas Expose we had a solid preseason and that really helped us. We went to Takoradi and Mampong, all this helped us coupled with the support from management.
“Let me say that the supporters were unbelievable during our African campaign. I got shocked when I saw a packed stadium during our first game, that made me love my job more and i felt at home. I had total support from the management and that helped us to qualify for the group stages where we also did well.
However, he bemoaned the team’s failure as a result of injuries which had a toll on the first continental role of his coaching career.
“But some major injuries occured which greatly affectedly us in our campaign. I enjoyed every moment I at Kotoko more than any job i have ever done as a coach.
Meanwhile, C.K was tight-lipped on the major contributing factors that accounted for his failure at the senior national team but was quick to note that call-ups was a big challenge for him.
“Black Stars at my time was struggling, the whole team was not stable, sometimes when making call up you don’t even know how many players to call. At black Stars it was a different story and one day I will tell it”. CK Akonnor on Akoma 87.9 FM
