Owner of Asante Kotoko, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, is expected to announce a new Board of Directors ahead of the 2024/25 Ghana Premier League season, according to a report by Nhyira FM.
This follows the dissolution of the management team led by Nana Yaw Amponsah and the Board of Directors headed by Dr Kwame Kyei at the end of the 2022/23 Ghana Premier League season.
In their place, Otumfuo appointed an Interim Management Committee (IMC) to oversee club operations.
The current IMC includes former Ghana national team coach Kwesi Appiah and Prosper Ogum Narteh, who also serves as the team’s head coach.
Other members of the committee are: Emmanuel Newton Dasoberi, acting as Administrative Manager, and Nana Apinkra Akwasi Awuah.
Under the IMC’s guidance, Asante Kotoko successfully completed the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League campaign at the 6th position with 49 points.
However, the establishment of a new Board of Directors is mandated by the Club Licensing Committee, which prohibits an Interim Committee from managing the club for more than one season.
As the Board of Directors prepares to be appointed, an Executive Board Chairman will lead the forthcoming Management Team, which is still to be determined.
The reports also indicate that, the new Board will consist of no more than six members.
The 2024/25 Ghana Premier League season is set to commence on September 6, with Asante Kotoko beginning their campaign with an away match against Karela United at the Aliu Mahama Stadium in Tamale.
