Former Black Stars coach, Charles Kwablan Akonnor, has refuted reports suggesting that he is interested in replacing under pressure Asante Kotoko coach, Prosper Narteh Ogum.
Multiple reports have emerged suggesting that the former Hearts of Oak and Ashgold gaffer is interested in returning to the Porcupine Warriors amid growing pressure on Ogum following disappointing results this season.
However, the 50-year-old coach clarified that such reports were taken out of context, as he had never expressed any desire to coach the Porcupine Warriors.
"I was mad when I saw it because I didn’t say anything like that," he told Graphic Sports.
The former Black Stars skipper revealed that he had contacted the individual who conducted the interview, who also denied attributing such statements to him. He attributed the misinformation to bloggers who had distorted the story for sensationalism.
“I didn’t say I was interested in coaching the team so I later called the guy who granted the interview and he also denied it and said it was the bloggers who just twisted the story just to get attention”, the coach stated.
CK Akonnor, who is a former Ashgold and Dreams FC head trainer has previously coached Asante Kotoko from 2018 to 2019.
