Former Black Stars coach, Charles Kwabla Akonnor has revealed the reason why he left Hearts of Oak to support Asante Kotoko.
He said the unique treatment he received as the head coach of Asante Kotoko attracted him to the Porcupine Warriors from his boyhood club Hearts of Oak.
C.K Akonnor joined Asante Kotoko on a three-year deal in 2018 after exiting Ashanti Gold.
He led Asante Kotoko to the novel Normalization Commitee special Competition victory and the group stages of the CAF Confederations Cup.
The former Ashanti Gold midfielder and gaffer coached Hearts of Oak in 2012.
C.K Akonnor said he fell in love with Asante Kotoko after joining the Reds.
“To be honest with you I was Hearts of Oak supporter but I became to love Kotoko because of what I experienced when I went there. My house, my family were all Hearts supporters. My father is Hearts of Oak man," he said on Metro TV.
"I was seen in more professional way. If am with Kotoko I want to beat Hearts and if am with Hearts I want to beat Kotoko. No doubt about it."
"So when you went to Hearts of Oak did you feel like you have come home?," the host quizzed.
“I felt like I was working and I had to be professional, give all my best for the team. I don’t look at it on that fan perspective but as a job that has been given they pay me so I have to give my best to the club," he added.
