Incoming Ashanti Gold SC coach, Charles Kwabena (C.K) Akunnor is optimistic about rescuing the club out of its current slump, insisting the club will “escape relegation”.

The Miners have had a troubling season so far, with the club languishing at the bottom of the table after accruing just eight points from 11 games.

And to make matters worse, the club has played its last two matches without a substantive coach after Bashir Hayford resigned from the post.

On Tuesday it was announced that Ashanti Gold have secured the services of Dream FC coach, CK Akunnor to help steer the club out of its current struggles.

And the soon-to-be-appointed coach believes he has what it takes to revive the fortunes of the Miners, although he admitted it was a risky job.

"It is a very risky job with a huge responsibility that I have accepted, but I strongly believe with the team we're building from the players available we will be able to escape relegation,” CK Akunnor said in the interview with Class FM.

"We have discussed the current situation of the club and Dreams FC and management allowed me move on as I want to help revive the dwindling fortunes of my former club [Ashanti Gold]."

CK Akunnor has managed Dream FC for the last two and half years, and will now be hoping to help steer Ashanti Gold out of the relegation places in his new role.

The former Black Stars captain has also had a stint with local giants Hearts of Oak.
