Former Western Region Football Association chairman, Kojo Yankah has recommended that former Asante Kotoko coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani replaces for outgone Black Stars Coach Charles Kwabla Akunnor.
Akonnor together with two assistants, David Duncan and Patrick Grevaraars were axed from their roles on last Monday with Ghana Football Association’s Executive Counsel(ExCo) setting up a three member committee to appoint new trainer within 72 hours.
CK won 5, drew 2 and lost 4 of the 11 games he managed as Black Stars gaffer.
Speaking in an interview with Asempa FM, the former ExCo member said Didi will be a good option.
“If I’m told to choose one I would choose Didi (Dramani). Didi is someone who does a lot of listening when he is coaching and anyone who listen does a good job. He listen and blend it with his, that is Didi for you and he is very humble, very humble guy. So I think Didi can do it.”
