The determination by the Dr. K. K Sarpong administration to beef up Team Kotoko for the coming season and beyond has received a major boost with the signing of Maxwell Konadu as the new assistant coach of the club.

The former Wa All Stars head coach has appended his valuable signature to a contract document to become the assistant to Bogdan Korak for the next two years and most importantly, bring his vast experience on the Ghanaian football scene to bear on the team.

Announcing the signing to Kotoko Express, Administrative and Public Affairs Manager, Ben Nti stated that the signing of the highly experienced Coach who also doubles as the assistant to Akwasi Appiah at the national under 23 side, The Black Meteors, has brought great relief to Kotoko.

“Though Bogdan continues to do his best for the club, it was clear that his no too deep knowledge of the local terrain most of the times posed a challenge to him. That is why for almost a year, we followed the exploits of Coach Maxwell and decided to get him into Kotoko”.

“Much as it was not an easy exercise convincing him to leave his position as a head coach at All Stars to come and assist at Kotoko, I believe his appending of signature for Kotoko should be a great relief to us”.

In the absence of head coach Bogdan Korak who is on holidays in his home country, Serbia, and the team scheduled to resume training today Tuesday to  prepare for the finals of the MTN FA Cup finals against Nania FC, Coach Maxwell will take charge of the preparation of the team at the Adarko Jarchie training grounds.

The name Maxwell Konadu is not new to members of the Kotoko family who are advanced in age and those who have studied the history of the club from the 1990s on as he was a lethally sharp striker who commandeered a lot of strength and goal scoring abilities.

Kotoko Express joins hands with all members of the family to welcome back home our beloved Maxwell the former player and now coach.
