Akonnor’s record with the Black Stars since his appointment in January 2020, stands at four wins, four losses and two draws.
After this latest development, the Executive Council of the GFA has set up a three-member committee which includes GFA Vice President Mark Addo, Upper East Regional Football Association Chairman, Alhaji Salifu Zida and Dr. Randy Abbey to find a Head Coach and Assistant Coaches for the Black Stars within the next 72 hours.
The likes of George Boateng, Marcel Desailly and Herve Renard have all been linked with the Black Stars job.
