Former Black Stars coach, CK Akonnor, has thanked President Nana Akufo-Addo, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and the general public in his farewell message.
The former Asante Kotoko and Dreams FC boss was dismissed by the GFA on Monday, after series of poor results in the 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifying games played.
Ghana opened their qualifiers with a home win over Ethiopia but lost to South Africa in their second Group G game at the FNB Stadium.
In his first message since his dismissal, CK Akonnor thanked President Akufo-Addo and Ghanaians for the opportunity to serve and wished the team well in their future endeavours.
