The Ghana Football Association on Wednesday appointed former Black Stars captain Charles Kwabla Akonnor as their new coach. Akonnor, a central midfielder for German sides Fortuna Koln and Wolfsburg, replaces Kwesi Appiah whose contract was not renewed in December. The former Black Stars skipper will be assisted by David Duncan – a former Ghana under-23 and under-17 coach, a statement from the Federation announced. Akonnor, 45, has had managerial stints with Ghana premier league giants Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak. His first international assignment will be the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in March.
