I regret sacking Maxwell Konadu – Nana Yaw Amponsah
It’s been two weeks since Asante Kotoko, let go of one of their illustrious men, Maxwell Konadu, who served the club at will from his playing days and later on as a head coach in two separate stints.
The gaffer was sacked following a shocking 1-0 loss to Accra Great Olympics at the Accra Sports Stadium amongst other dismal results the side recorded in the ongoing Ghana Premier League after five rounds of games.
However, Chief Executive Officer, Nana Yaw Amponsah has honestly admitted to taking a rush decision in sacking the former coach, as well as failing to officially inform the club’s Board of Directors of his intention to execute the decision to the latter.
In a recent media interview with Kumasi based Oyerepa FM, he opined that “I made a mistake for sacking Maxwell Konadu because I did not officially write to inform the board.”
He was quick to admit his mistakes leading to sacking the coach saying that, his records after five rounds of games (W1D2L1) wasn’t bad as people made it seem.
“I admit I am wrong and I accept that. Maxwell Konadu’s records at Kotoko was not bad but it was time for him to go and other big clubs in the world have done that but I again admit I was wrong for not informing the board.”
Post Maxwell Konadu, Kotoko have played two matches, one on the domestic scene as well as on the continental divide, winning through a solitary Imoro Ibrahim goal against Dreams at Dawu and losing 1-0 CAF Champions League opponents Al-Hilal ahead of the second leg in January.
