Former Minister of Youth and Sports, Nii Lante Vanderpuye believes the entire technical team of the Black Stars has underperformed.
According to the MP for Odododiodio, if the GFA decides to sack Akonnor, the entire bench must go with him.
Charles Kwablan Akonnor has been under pressure after the team's defeat to South Africa in the 2022 World Cup qualifier on Monday, with fans calling for his head.
However, Nii Lante Vanderpuye insists the timing might not be right especially in the middle of the qualifiers.
"We saw the team play against Ethiopia and after the match, we were afraid of what was going to happen in South Africa," he said on Starr FM.
"We were lucky we lost by one goal. Judging by their performance, the South Africans were not good, else they would have embarrassed us.
"From what I hear, the coach is not the only problem. You have a system where people are pushing for their players to be in the team," he continued.
"What will be the reason to change CK? I believe it's the whole technical bench, not CK alone. In the middle of world cup qualifiers, I don't think it's the time to change the coach."
