Owner and bankroller of Ghana Premier League side, King Faisal, Alhaji Karim Grusah has casted doubt about Black Stars coach, C.K Akonnor leading Ghana to end the 40-year trophy drought in Cameroon next year.
The Black Stars have come close to ending the trophy drought in the last decade, 2010 Angola losing to Egypt in the finals and in 2015 Equatorial Guinea- Gabon as the Stars lost to Ivory Coast on penalty shootout.
The Ministry of Youth and Sports recently approved a $25m budget for the 2021 AFCON and 2022 World Cup campaigns.
But according to Grusah, with Akonnor at the helm of affairs there is absolutely no need to pump in such amount because he cannot lead Ghana to lift the covetous trophy at the end of the 2021 AFCON tournament.
“I’m a Ghanaian, I can’t support Burkina Faso or any other country than Ghana but this coach has nothing better to lead our team for the trophy”, He told Kumasi FM.
Alhaji Grusah further stressed that, the government may end up wasting their resources on the Black Stars if they maintain CK Akonnor as Black Stars head coach.
“I believe we can win the trophy but not with this coach, Ghana need a white coach because football is managed by critical thinking person and I know you understand me well”, he concluded.
