Former Ghana FA Veep wants Kotoko to re-hire Maxwell Konadu

Former Ghana Football Association vice president, George Afriyie has asserted that Asante Kotoko should consider re-hiring Maxwell Konadu.

The former Black Stars B gaffer was dismissed just after four games into the 2020-21 Ghana Premier League.

The Porcupine Warriors had struggled to find their feet in their opening fixtures and the management led by Nana Yaw Amponsah fired the experienced trainer after losing 1-0 to Great Olympics in Accra.

Konadu’s sacking came as a surprise to many followers of the club who thought the team was still in the process of building a new team, having recruited about 12 players to augment the squad before the start of the season.

George Afriyie in an interview remarked that the sacking came too early as the coach had only supervised four games and needed more time at the club.

“I don’t know what necessitated the sack and if Kotoko can still recall him they should do it,” he told Muftawu Nabila in an interview.

“I was disappointed when they sacked Maxwell Konadu, I will speak as I feel. I don’t know what is going on in the club but as someone who is sitting back and looking at the situation, I am disappointed”.

“Maxwell Konadu is a very good coach and I have worked with him before. He was sacked after only four games, even my Arsenal believe they will bounce back”.

“He is a member of the new face of our coaching alongside the likes of Tanko – Ibrahim and CK Akonnor”, he added.

Asante Kotoko are still in search of a substantive coach.
