Former Black Stars head coach, Charles Kwablan Akonnor, has admitted that he had a difficult time assembling the right players when Covid-19 was at its peak.
Akonnor, who replaced Kwesi Appiah in January 2020 faced a challenge with the outbreak of Covid.
Clubs were reluctant to release their players for the various national teams.
However, the former Asante Kotoko gaffer speaking in an interview said he was faced with a difficult task and could not get the right players he wanted due to Covid.
“This is public knowledge,” the former Hearts of Oak said on Prime Take which airs on Joy Sports.
“Many people out there just talk but they have no idea what was happening inside.
“Apart from Covid, it was a challenge controlling player call-ups,” he added.
In his tenure as head coach, the 48-year-old won four games and drew two, losing the other four before being replaced by Milovan Rajevac.
