Former Kotoko management member blasts club for sacking Coach Maxwell Konadu

Former Asante Kotoko management member Ali Maradona is disappointed in the club’s Management Team for sacking head coach of the side, Maxwell Konadu on Friday morning.

Konadu was sacked by the Porcupine Warriors a day after the club suffered a 1-0 home defeat to Great Olympics – their first defeat of the season.

The Ghanaian giants, after five games played in the season so far, have won one, drawn three and lost one.

Ali Maradona believes that the hierarchy of the club should have given Konadu at least 7 games.

“It’s too early to sack Maxwell Konadu, he should be given at least 7 to 8 matches. I don’t also want to believe that he’s being victimized especially because current management didn’t appoint him. I don’t support this decision, ” he told Oyerepa FM.

Assistant trainer, Johnson Smith has been tasked to lead the team until a new coach is appointed.

This will be the second time Coach Johnson Smith will be holding the fort temporarily at Asante Kotoko after the dismissal of a head coach. The first time was in 2009 when Paa Kwesi Fabin was sacked after a poor run.
