Ghana’s Ministry of Youth and Sports has released a detailed breakdown of a payment plan to serve outstanding salaries to former Black Stars head coach CK Akonnor.
The release comes in the wake of Akonnor’s outburst that he wasn’t paid $100,000 after his contract with the Black Stars was terminated following a run of poor results.
The Sports Ministry in response stated that the former Black Stars captain had been paid more than the aforementioned amount in three trenches.
In the release, the Sports Ministry stated Akonnor was paid $54.054.06 in October, 2021 with the same amount paid in the second trench on February 10.
Akonnor was sacked as Black Stars head coach in September 2021 and according to the Ministry’s statement, he received $100,000 on January, 2023.
On July 27, 2023 Akonnor was paid $30,000 via bank transfer with the amount paid summing up to $508,108.12.
However, the Ministry stated Akonnor was owed an outstanding salary of $220,000. Milovan Rajevac was named Black Stars head coach after Akonnor’s dismissal.
