Asante Kotoko Board of Directors is set to name Nana Yaw Amponsah as the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in the coming days.
The former Ghana Football Association presidential aspirant was tipped to take over the vacant position following the exit of George Amoako last month.
The Kotoko management was disbanded following the inauguration of the new Board of Directors by Manhyia Palace.
However, the Board settled on the Phar Rangers boss as the new CEO of the club after a meeting held here in Accra last month, June 2020.
But Mr Amponsah’s appointment was called off by the Board which came as a shock to the supporters of the club.
A five-member interim management team was put together by the Board to steer the affairs of the club for the meantime.
The interim management is headed by Joseph Yaw Adu, a retired Sports Director at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kofi Abban, Evelyn Nsiah Asare, Martin Brobbey and Lawyer Kwamina Mensah.
However, the management team has communicated to the Board to name a new CEO as they don’t intend to stay in office for long.
