Charles Kwabla Akonnor, a former Black Stars player, has started working as the head coach of Gor Mahia, a Kenyan powerhouse.
As preparations began for the 2025–2026 season, the former Ghanaian coach and his technical staff had their first meeting with the players.
On the first day, Akonnnor, who agreed to a two-year contract to coach the team in the next season, led his players in several exercises and ball work.
According to the former Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak trainer, the pre-season session would allow him teach the team his philosophy and style of play.
“Pre-season is a situation gradually we will first get to know the players and also the same time trying to implement the idea of how we want to play. So we will combine the way of letting them have the fitness and understanding the style of play,” he said.
Akonnor will be supported by a Ghanaian technical bench following the appointment of Bismark Kobby Mensah as his assistant with Ben Owu serving as goalkeepers trainer.
Joshua Kofi Boafo will serve as the club’s video analyst.
