Kotoko legend Ibrahim Sunday appeals for inclusion of old players on the club’s new board

Asante Kotoko legend, Ibrahim Sunday has appealed for the inclusion of retired players onto the new Board of Directors of the club.

Manhyia on 28 May 2020 announced a new board to steer the affairs of the club in the next three football seasons.

Conspicuously missing were representatives from the club’s supporters wing and Asante Kotoko Old Players Association (AKOPA).

However, the special assistant to Chief of Staff of Manhyia Kwame Aboagye Mensah explained that the old players’ association is currently not functioning as it used to be. With regards to the Circles, he explained that, the body has some much internal issues which they are addressing.

But the former captain of the side explained that it will be prudent to add the old players who have helped the club chalked success in the past.

“I am hoping we can also get a retired footballer on the board, he told Happy FM.

“They need people who are part of the club’s success and also know the history of the club. If we want Kotoko to progress, then it important to get one of these players onto the board. Some of the old players have served the club very well with their hearts and they deserve to be on the board”.

“I hope those in Kumasi can write a petition to Manhyia. If we want Asante Kotoko to return to its glory days, then it’s very important”, he added.
