Asante Kotoko To Appoint A New Coach At The End Of September

The Special Assistant to Dr Kwame Kyei, Nana Kwasi Gyambibi Coker has revealed that Asante Kotoko will appoint a substantive coach by the end of this month.

The Porcupine Warriors are without a substantive coach following the resignation of Paa Kwesi Fabin after only seven months in charge of the club, citing personal reasons for his departure.

However, media reports have emerged that the Reds are set to name former Hearts of Oak gaffer Charles Akunnor to take over as the head coach of the club.

However, the Communications Director of the club, Lawyer Sarfo Duku has debunked the reports, stating they are negotiating with several coaches but have not settled on anyone yet.

But in an interview with Kumasi-based Oyerepa FM, Nana Gyambibi has echoed the claims by the club's scribe and says they will appoint a substantive coach by the end of September.

"I can't confirm the name of any coach but we have shortlisted a number of local coaches out of which we will choose a coach from.

He hinted the next coach will be from Ghana and not from outside Ghana.

"There are a lot of applications we have received some from abroad and Ghana but I can assure you that we will not go beyond the boundaries of Ghana we will still pick a local coach."

"Latest by the end of the month, Asante Kotoko will name a new coach."
