Ibrahim Saanie Daara beleives that Charles Kwabla Akonnor’s appointment as head coach of Gor Mahia is an opportunity to relaunch his coaching career.
The former Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko head coach has been unattached after he was dismissed as the head coach of the Ghana national team, the Black Stars.
However, the Kenyan giants have named Akonnor on a two-year deal with Bismark Kobby Mensah serving as the assistant coach, while George Owu has joined the fold as goalkeepers' trainer.
Speaking in an interview, Sannie Daara, who is a former Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) believes the move presents a fresh platform for Akonnor to rebuild his reputation and open new doors on the continental stage.
“We wish him the best and hope that he can make the best of it since this is a big opportunity for CK to somehow relaunch his career, because since he left the Black Stars, he's not had a job.
“He's had offers, but some of the offers were not suitable for him, but with this opportunity to go outside and make his name, I think it's good news for him to do that and perhaps come back into recruitment for some of the top jobs,” he said.
Akonnor will be looking to bring his experience to the table, having managed Kotoko to the CAF Champions League.
