‘Nana Yaw Amponsah’s tenure not a failure
Ex-Administrative Manager and Head of Legal Affairs for Kumasi Asante Kotoko, Samuel Sarfo Duku, believes outgoing CEO, Nana Yaw Amponsah’s tenure cannot be tagged as a failure, despite the backlash from some sections of the fans.
His comment comes on the back of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II’s decision to dissolve the Board and Management after the end of their three-year mandate.
Asked about what he makes of Amponsah’s tenure as CEO, Sarfo Duku called for a proper introspection to be done by the club’s life patron.
“Before we can make a definite conclusion, we would have to analyse the terms of reference vis a vis what he was able to achieve.
“Generally, if you look at the performance of the team, I don’t think they fared badly at all,” he told Citisports.
“Before he [Nana Yaw Amponsah] came, the expectations of the fans were so high. But I think he has done his part. Others are saying that he would have performed better if he was to be given another chance, but the issues were such that Otumfuo thought otherwise.”
“So I won’t say he is a failure, I would say he did not perform to people’s expectations.”
Nana Yaw Amponsah was appointed as the Chief Executive Officer of Asante Kotoko SC back in August 2020.
He has worked with four different coaches, including Maxwell Konadu, who is now the Head Coach for Nsoatreman Football Club, Portuguese Gaffer, Mariano Barreto, Prosper Narteh Ogum, who led the team to their 24th Premier League title, and Seydou Zerbo, who left the club in a very interesting fashion. —Citinewsroom
