Akunnor joined the Miners midway last season and guided them to avoid relegation.
And following their blistering start to this year's Ghana Premier League season, Akunnor has been rewarded with a one-year renewable contract by the club's new investors.
"It's true I signed one year for Ashgold which is subject to renewal at the end of the season," Akunnor revealed on Oyerepa FM.
During AshantiGold's convincing 3-1 win over Hearts of Oak, Akunnor passionately celebrated their third goal like they've won a trophy; much to the delight of many at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium, and it's been likened to Jose Mourinho - when he led FC Porto to conquer Manchester United at the Old Trafford in the 2004 Champions League quarter final.
The 44-year-old was quizzed on the jubilation, "I celebrated in that manner because I couldn't hide my excitement when we scored. I remembered what we talked about before going onto the field. Our target is to avoid what happened to us last year."
