Ghana can win the AFCON title but not with a coach like Akonnor — Alhaji Grusah

The bankroller of King Faisal, Alhaji Karim Grusah, believes the Black Stars need a “white coach” to end Ghana’s 40-year Africa Cup of Nations trophy drought, not Charles Akonnor. 

Ghana last won the coveted AFCON title in 1982 and it’ll be 40-years since the Black Stars last won the tournament by the start of the 2021 edition next year. 
The country has since suffered three final heartbreaks in 1992, 2010, and 2015. 

The President, Nana Akufo-Addo, has, however, tasked the Black Stars to win the 2021 AFCON in Cameroon with a $25 million budget for it and the World Cup qualifiers. 

But Grusha posits that Akonnor, who was appointed head coach of the senior national team in January 2020, cannot lead Ghana to end its AFCON trophy drought. 

“I’m a Ghanaian, I can’t support Burkina Faso or any other country than Ghana, but this coach (Akonnor) has nothing better to lead our team…”, He told Kumasi FM.

“I believe we can win the trophy but not with this coach, Ghana needs a white coach because football is managed by critical thinking people and I know you understand me well”, he concluded.

Ghana has already booked its place in next year’s AFCON final in Cameroon last month.
