Former Ghana coach and Asante Kotoko legend Kwesi Appiah confirmed that he had held discussions with the club regarding the vacant head coaching position. The “Porcupine Warriors” were without a substantive coach following the dismissal of Seydou Zerbo after a 2-0 defeat to Medeama SC at the Baba Yara Stadium. Abdul Gazale was in charge as the interim boss at the time of the report.
Kwesi Appiah, who was without a club after leaving Kenpong Soccer Academy, made it clear that he had engaged with the club’s hierarchy, specifically through CEO Nana Yaw Amponsah.
“Asante Kotoko has a CEO (Nana Yaw Amponsah) and I can’t go to Manhyia and demand that I should be named the new head coach without the knowledge of the CEO,” Kwesi Appiah told Kumasi-based Pure FM.
“For the past months, I have held talks with Kotoko but I told them to hold on because I received two offers but let us see what happens.”
Appiah, a club legend, also expressed his willingness to assist the club in any capacity, stating, “I played Asante Kotoko for years and I have been in and out of the club. If there is any assistance I am willing to do that.”
