Kotoko’s Head
Coach resigns from post
Kumasi, May 11, Ghanadot/GNA
– The head coach of Kumasi Asante Kotoko, Isaac ‘Opeele’
Boateng is said to have tendered in his resignation letter
soon after Kotoko drew 1-1 with Kessben F/C in their Glo
Premier League match in Kumasi on Sunday.
His decision according to sources follows the alleged
divisions among management members and the playing body
which he said had made his job difficult.
A source at the management, confirming the resignation to
the GNA Sports in Kumasi on Monday said the coach was,
however, impressed upon to rescind his decision as
management fought hard to address the challenges militating
against the performance of Kotoko.
The embattled coach has of late attributed the current woes
of the Club to the work of evil forces.
“What we are going through calls for a more in-depth
analysis of the situation in the interest of the club since
some of the problems bother on spirituality”, he stated,
adding that the current misfortunes could not be attributed
to the technical team alone.
Speaking to newsmen in Kumasi, Coach Boateng said it was
therefore prudent that supporters and stakeholders shun
apportioning blames, pray for the Club and commit resources
towards reviving the team’s spirit to enhance their
performance.
Coach Boateng was not happy of what he described as clear
sabotage against him by some people close to the team ever
since he took over the technical affairs of the Club a
couple of months ago.
“I am ready to put my job on the line and serve as an
assistant Coach if that would serve the interest of the Club
in the long term”, he lamented.
Coach Opeele Boateng appealed to the supporters to remain
focused and not be discouraged following the team’s dismal
performance in recent times since Kotoko was capable of
bouncing back to winning ways if the right structures were
put in place.
