History tracking for Account Owner

Hi!
I want to track the account owner name by using following trigger .
 

if (Trigger.isUpdate) {

for (Account a : Trigger.new) {

 String ownerName  = a.Owner.Name;

}

}

ownerName returns null ,

 

How to get New and Old Owner Name value?

 

Thanks

You will have to query for the name based on the ownerid.  You should have the old and new ownerids.

You should be able to do this in one query (something like the below).

select firstname, lastname from user where id in (owneridnew, owneridold)
