Career
Club career
Éric Akoto is a defender and began his career with the Ghanaian club Liberty Professionals in Accra. In 1998 Akoto switched to the Austrian Bundesliga club Grazer AK as a supplementary player , where he was trained on the defensive by the then coach Klaus Augenthaler . In the following years Akoto completed 54 league games for Graz and also became a crowd favorite, before moving to league rivals FK Austria Wien in 2002 , where he played a total of 40 league games. In 2004 Akoto moved to Germany to join the second division FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt . There he was unable to assert himself, however, and only made four appearances in the 2nd Bundesliga . After the immediate relegation of the Thuringians, Akoto returned to Austria and joined Admira Wacker Mödling , where he was a regular in the first half of the 2005/06 season. Due to outstanding salary payments, Akoto left the club on December 17, 2005 and was without a club for the rest of the season, but kept fit with the Togolese national team and SV Schwechat .
For the 2006/07 season Akoto played again for the Grazer AK, then moved to Interblock Ljubljana in 2007 . For the 2008/09 season, Éric Akoto moved to the newly promoted Bundesliga Kapfenberger SV , which he left again in the summer of 2009. He moved to Maccabi Ahi Nazareth in the Ligat ha'Al , the top division in Israeli football , for the 2009/10 season . In the winter transition period 2009/10 Akoto moved to Greece to OFI Crete .
Akoto stayed there only until the end of the season and then moved to North Queensland Fury , where he only played one season. After brief stints at FC Floriana in Malta and SK Austria Klagenfurt , Akoto moved to the Oberliga Nord in 2013, where they played SC Mürzhofen . His former GAK colleague Franz Almer , who comes from Mürzhofen and was coach there from 2011, guided him to the lower-class club. In the winter break of 2013/14 he moved to the lower division FC Stattegg , where he was used in eleven league games in the 2013/14 season and scored one goal. In the following season he acted again as a regular in the defense, was used in 22 league games, where he scored one goal, but rose with the team in the seventh-class regional league.
Even before the start of the new season, he switched to the second combat team of USV Petersdorf in the Styrian 1st class South B , the last league in the Styrian football league system. Here he appeared as the successor to Michael Kleinlercher from October 2015 as the team's coach. So far (as of February 1, 2016) he was used as a player in nine league games and contributed one goal.
National team career
For the Togolese national soccer team , Akoto played at least 56 international matches in his career and was in the squad for the 2006 World Cup in Germany , where he was not used.
Coaching career
During his career as a sub-class amateur soccer player, Akoto also worked as assistant coach of the U-15-C team of SK Sturm Graz . At the same time, he has also been the player-trainer of the USV Petersdorf II combat team since October 2015 .
