Former Black Stars coach, CK Akonnor, says he has no regret managing the senior national team.
Despite describing the environment he worked at as toxic, he insists leading the four times African Cup of Nations champions was a dream fulfilled.
"No, I can't say that. Working as Black Stars coach? It's the biggest [for any coach]," he told JoySports Prime Take host, Muftawu Nabila Abdulai.
"It is the environment which was not conducive. I wish it had been better so that I could use my knowledge to help the nation, but I didn't get it.
"It didn't work out doesn't mean I regret coaching the team," he said.
When Akonnor was sacked in September last year, pundits said there could be second tenure just as Kwasi Appiah, and he wouldn't rule out that, but for now, his focus is to grow his technical skills.
"I can't say for now," he said.
He continued "I am still a coach and I am working on improving my skills, but I still want to get more knowledge about the game. Now, I am looking at doing the Technical Director thing, in terms of improving, scouting and all those things, not necessarily the coaching aspect, but I want to improve more and be better," he stated.
Akonnor scouted for the Black Stars during the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
