Asante Kotoko head Coach C.K. Ackonnor has rejected claims in the media that there’s tension between him and some of his players, stating emphatically clear that he has a very good relationship with his boys.
The former Ashanti Gold SC trainer has been accused of favouring some players in his selection for matchday fixtures with others struggling to enjoy playing time under his leadership.
However, Akonnor has refuted the reports and insists he would do no such thing to dent his hard-earned reputation.
