GFA Executive Council Member, Dr Randy Abbey says the associations hold former Black Stars assistant coach Ibrahim Tanko in high esteem.
This comes after Ibrahim Tanko who was the former assistant coach to Kwesi Appiah was overlooked for the Black Stars job following
the GFA's decision on Wednesday to name CK Akonnor as the new coach of the senior national team.
However, speaking to Joy FM on Saturday, Randy said the decision to pick C.K Akonnor as head coach of the Black Stars is in no way an indictment on the competence of Ibrahim Tanko.

Tanko will be assisted by Prince Owusu as Assistant 1 and Godwin Attram as Assistant 2.
