Akonnor however says that he not holding a grudge against the team as he states that he is still a big fan of the Black Stars because of his citizenship status as a Ghanaian.

“I still support the Black Stars. I’m a Ghanaian. I love my country. I was once the coach [and] it didn’t go well. It doesn’t mean anything. I am just not too happy with certain things but my love for my country still goes on,” he told 3Sports.
