Hearts of Oak legend and 1978 AFCON winner, Mohammed Polo has entreated Ghanaians to rallies behind Ghana coach Charles Kwabla Akonnor after defeat to South Africa in the World Cup qualifiers.
Ghana were handed their first defeat in the qualifications by South Africa on Monday at the FNB Stadium.
The Bafana Bafana recorded a deserving 1-0 victory to go top of Group G with the only goal scored by Bongokuhle Hlongwane.
A session of Ghanaians has called for the sacking of Akonnor following the Black Stars unimpressive performance in recent times but according to Polo, Ghanaians must support the trainer as he strongly believes expatriate coaches have brought anything better into our game.
Speaking to Otec FM, he said, “Ghanaians should support C.K Akonnor because it’s never too late. The current players in the Black Stars are the best he has now,”
“Let support him and see the way forward. Let’s support our own because the foreign coaches only come and spend our money” He added
Akonnor who was appointed in February 2020 as replacement for Kwasi Appiah has been in charge of 10 matches, winning 4, losing 4 and drawing 2.
