Kotoko legend Jabir backs under-fire coach Maxwell Konadu

Asante Kotoko SC legend, Malik Jabir has jumped to the defence of under-fire Maxwell Konadu after just two draws in two games in the ongoing Ghana premier league.

Konadu is under increasing pressure after guiding the Porcupines secure just 2 points from their games played in the 2020-21 Ghana Premier.

The former Black Stars B tactician has been hugely criticised after his side played 1-1 drawn game against Berekum Chelsea at the Golden City Park through Emmanuel Clottey’s last-minute free-kick which was as the last kick of the game.

Kotoko had scored in the first half of the game through striker Kwame Opoku.

Some sections of the fans have called for Konadu’s head which Malik Jabir who is a former coach of the club calls it premature to judge his performance just two games into the season.

“It will be too premature to make any fair assessment of any coach including Maxwell Konadu. We have not played enough games to take any decision on any coach. It will be very unfair. At least ten games will be enough to make any fair assessment of Maxwell.” He spoke on Akoma FM.

Maxwell Konadu and his charges will fly to Mauritania to take on FC Nouadhibou in the preliminary round of the CAF Champions League this weekend.
