“I have told the Coach to accept a salary cut in the COVID-19 period before we pay him, we cannot give him full salary in the COVID-19 era, and we are waiting for a response from the FA” Isaac Asiamah told Asempa FM.
“The coach has agreed in principle to accept a salary cut in this COVID-19 era, it is left with the FA to come out with the modalities for us to pay him” he added.
In addition, Charles Akonnor’s salary is set at $25,000 monthly. Now he will be paid half of his wages. That is $12,500 as revealed by Ghanasoccernet.
