Ghana coach CK Akonnor is yet to sign a contract with the Football Association since taking charge this January, according to a radio station report.

Joy Sports Track host Gary Al-Smith posted on his Twitter handle: ''Ghana coach CK Akonnor did not sign a contract before taking the job, according to information we have. He's also not been paid, yet. More details on @Joy997FM on our Monday afternoon show. Starts in 10 minutes. #JoySports..''

But the ex-Black Stars captain has no legal binding agreement between him and his employers the Ghana FA-cum-the Ministry of Youth and Sports.

Akonnor replaced Kwesi Appiah whose contract was not renewed after it expired at the end of 2019.

This means the former Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak coach alongside his assistant David Duncan are clueless about their remuneration and incentives.

Akonnor announced a 23-man squad in Accra last week head of the two 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Sudan.
