Touching on circumstances surrounding his departure from the club, Paintsil said “To be honest with you, I never felt welcome by the club and one thing I witnessed was that, it’s very difficult to work with that side if you are not a former player from Kaiser Chiefs”.
“Even though I tried so hard to focus on my work, it became a lot more frustrating as time went on”.
“The media also said a lot of things about me that wasn’t true, so I spoke to the head coach who was like a dad to me.
So he spoke to those in charge of the club and we reached a mutual agreement which I believe was for the better”.
