Frimpong Manso unhappy with Maxwell Konadu Sacking

Asante Kotoko boss Frimpong Manso has aired his views on reasons leading to the sacking off former manager, Maxwell Konadu from club.

The Kumasi-based club let go off their former player and boss following their 1-0 defeat at the hands-off Accra Great Olympics in an outstanding GPL game played in mid-week.

According to Frimpong Manso, management should have exercised restraint in letting Maxwell Konadu leave the side after a year into his mandate as coach of the side.

The ex-player in an interview said, “The problem with the Kotoko team has to do with midfield. We should get time for coaches so they can build their teams. Team building takes time and club administrators must be patient”.

“If they were patient it could have been better. Now the problem will linger on because the new coach will now have to adapt to the players, also bring in his players”.

He however warned that the problem at the club was going to persist if they failed to remedy it.

In a related development, Great Olympics midfielder, Gladson Awako has waded into the growing circus making rounds that suggest the implicit decision to lay Maxwell Konadu from his role at the club. says the decision to sack Maxwell Konadu as the head coach of the club was a haste decision by the management.

“I am not part of the Kotoko team but I think it’s too early for Asante Kotoko to part ways with Head Coach Maxwell Konadu.”, Gladson Awako said in an interview.

Maxwell Konadu oversaw twenty-nine (29) games, won nine (9), drew seven (7), and lost five (5), in the process.

Kotoko have appointed Johnson Smith as the interim coach.
