Akonnor has disclosed that he rejected the new role as the club's technical director and has opted to abrogate his contract with the Porcupine Warriors.

"In a meeting I was told this. I am even in Accra now."
Akonnor guided Asante Kotoko to reach the group stages of the CAF Confederation Cup last year and also aided the Reds to beat Karela United in the Normalization Committee Special Competition Tier-1 final to book qualification for the 2019-20 CAF Champions League.
