Razak Stays In Charge At Kotoko

Abdul Razak, would stay in charge as Asante Kotoko coach after the club's owner and life patron Otumfuo Osei Tutu II blocked his resignation on Monday.

Razak handed in his resignation to the club's board of directors on Monday after defeat to city rivals King Faisal in the Coca Cola Top 4 but Otumfuo said he wouldn't allow him to leave under those circumstances.

Razak would thus stay in charge for Kotoko's crunch league tie against arch rivals Accra Hearts of Oak at the Accra Stadium. He is however unlikely to remain in charge for the next season as the club plans to take him on a major coaching course in Germany to enable him acquire an UEFA license A certificate.

Razak’s agent, Jones Abu Alhassan, told JoySports that the Kotoko coach would accept the offer since it would broaden his scope of football and enable him take up more responsible positions technical.

Razak, a 1978 African footballer of the year and one of Kotoko's best players of all time guided the club to a first league title in ten years last season but he has been criticised often by some fans and management members for being tactically incompetent. Ironical.
