Managing players is different from managing your Business – Sarfo Gyamfi tells Kotoko Board and Management

Former Asante Kotoko management member, Sarfo Gyamfi has taken a swipe at the Board of Directors and Management of the club, emphasising that managing players are entirely different from their personal businesses.

The hierarchy of the Porcupine Warriors have come under immense pressure following the abysmal performance of the club in this year’s Caf Champions League and the Ghana Premier League.

The situation worsened when the Management of the Reds sacked head coach of the side Maxwell Konadu after 1-0 defeat to Great Olympics in Accra.

While some fans are blaming the players, others believe that the management – who enjoyed massive support after their appointment have failed when it comes to managing the playing body to get the needed results.

A section of the club’s followers have also indicated that the Board of Directors cannot escape blame.

Sarfo Gyamfi, affectionately known as ‘Black President ‘ has indicated that he is not enthused about the performance of Board of Directors and Management.

“I have not been too happy about the performance of the Board and Management. They should enhance their performance. I won’t put so much blame on the players.

“The Management and the Board needed the experienced player with practical experience to guide them.

“Managing players is not like managing a private business, ” Sarfo Gyamfi told Kumasi-based Akoma FM.

The Ghanaian giants failed to qualify to the group stage of this year’s Caf Champions League after losing to Al Hilal over COVID -19 issues.

They have now been paired against Algeria’s ES Setif for the Caf Confederation Cup playoff.

In the local scene, they occupy 9th position on the league log and will be playing Liberty Professionals on Monday in a matchday 8 battle.
