The experienced Global Business Executive was appointed with 8 others to form the Asante Kotoko board, a body they have been lacking since Dr. Kwame Kyei took over three years ago.

In an interview with Kessben FM, he expressed his gratitude to the life Patron of the club, Otumfour Osei Tutu II for given him the opportunity to serve the club.

“Football is about quality players and we will look around the country and beyond and get the best players for Kotoko”

“Our immediate target will be winning the league and then proceed to do well in Africa”.

“I was born into Kotoko and have been a supporter since. I was a footballer myself. My playing style was like Opoku Afriyie of blessed memory”.

“The task is a difficult one but it is doable” he noted.

He has however acknowledged that to realize their objectives of winning on the pitch, the club requires quality players.

“The supporters are very important and we will urge them to continue to support the team” he mentioned.
