Akonnor stated this in an exclusive interview with ChannelOne TV on the sidelines of a 2024 European Championship viewing party organized at the German Ambassador to Ghana’s residence.

Former Wolfsburg midfielder hasn’t served as a head coach for a football team since leaving the Black Stars role in 2021 after a poor run of results with Ghana’s National Men’s Football Team.

“I am still in coaching what is important is that I’m learning within the football circles a lot of things. I am good, I’m very very happy with what I have done for myself and of course the knowledge that I have acquired…so I am happy I’m good.”

As a coach, Akonnor served as head coach for Kumasi Asante Kotoko, Sekondi Wise Fighters, Accra Hearts of Oak, Dreams FC and Ashanti Gold SC.
