Former Ashanti Gold SC coach, CK Akonnor has broken the silence on his sacking as the coach of the club.

The former Black Stars skipper alleges that the the club’s majority shareholder, Dr. Kwaku Frimpong (Champion) told him from day one that he preferred to have an expatriate coach to lead the Miners.

“Champion met me for the first time and he gave me the signal, Frederick Acheampong wasn’t there. He told me he preferred a white (expatriate) coach, so he was going to hire a coach, he told me this. Then I asked him, if you bring in a coach, then what becomes of me as the coach of the club now”?, Akunnor told Fox FM

“We agreed to resume training on Thursday, then on Wednesday I was called at the German embassy, what I didn’t do is not telling him (Frederick Acheampong), so on Thursday I went to the German embassy ,went there again on Friday and drove back to Obuasi later in the day, so I didn’t train on the Thursday and the Friday”,

CK Akonnor admitted. CK Akonnor further claimed that he was never appreciated by his employers, but have always been under criticisms and unsubstantiated allegations, making him feel not needed by the club.

“Frederick Acheampong and Champion asked the technical director to monitor me whether I have been taking money (bribe) from the players ,they don’t know me” , he said.

” If you work somewhere and you are not appreciated but is always about being criticized then it’s better to leave”, Asked whether he intends suing Ashanti Gold SC for unfair dismissal, he declined stating that he will not do it.

“I once said it but I will never do that, I have been paid every pesewa which is due me,”he added.
