Ghana coach Charles Akonnor unpaid seven months arrears

Ghanaian coach Charles Akonnor remains unpaid for seven months as the head coach of the Black Stars.

The 47-year-old gaffer led the senior national team for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers and will be in charge when Ghana plays Ethiopia and South Africa in September.

Akonnor was owed for 12 months but the Ministry of Youth and Sports settled five months of the arrears and are yet to pay the remaining figure.

“Yesterday and today, it has come up that I’ve been paid. That’s not the case. I think the FA has corrected that,” the former Wolfsburg revealed to journalists.

Ghana will be playing Ethiopia and South Africa for the 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifiers in September.

Charles Akonnor named his 30-man squad for the games last week.
