Ahmed Toure: I’m not quitting Kotoko

Striker Ahmed Toure denies reports he is set to quit Asante

Kotoko, revealing to 90 MINUTES his determination to regain regular playing

time next season as well as lead their charge into the African Champions’

League.

“Of course I’m very happy and delighted that we won the

league though I didn’t play much. Football is sometimes like that, sometimes

you play, other times you don’t,” the Ivorian born hitman, who has had a torrid

few months with Kotoko, told this paper in a chat.

He added: “I’m not worried; I have to work harder to claim

my place back. Everybody wants to play Champions’ League, it offers big

opportunities and I’m looking forward to it.”

Contrary to thinly-veiled statements he made on radio that

he was not on good terms with just departed Kotoko helmsman Maxwell Konadu,

Ahmed Toure tells 90 MINUTES how much he will miss the newly appointed Black

Stars assistant coach

“It’s just sad that we had to lose Coach Maxwell (Konadu).

He was perfect for the team as he knows the players and he knows how the team

functions. A new coach will now have to study the players to know them which

will take time,” Ahmed Toure said.

The Ivorian adds: “It’s not going to be easy without Coach

Maxwell but everything will be alright, I want to assure the fans. I want the

supporters to know that I’m here for them so they shouldn’t listen to all the

rumours

and bad stuff about me. I love them so they should continue to love and support

the club and we the players on the other hand will also deliver.” Credit:
