Following the completion of their three-year mandate, the 12-member board of Asante Kotoko has been dissolved by Manhyia, the governing body.
The board had submitted its reports for the three years of their tenure. Nana Gyambib Coker, a former management member, spoke about the possibility of Dr. Kwame Kyei returning to lead Asante Kotoko if called upon by Manhyia during an interview with Akoma FM.
Coker, who was part of the management team during Dr. Kwame Kyei's administration, clarified that Dr. Kwame Kyei is not the owner of newly promoted Nations FC, but rather the team belongs to his sons.
Coker also revealed the primary reason for Dr. Kwame Kyei's purchase and renovation of the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex in Abrankese, stating that it was done to serve the interests of Asante Kotoko.
While Coker did not confirm or deny the possibility of Dr. Kwame Kyei being retained as the board chairman or becoming the executive chairman of Kotoko, he emphasized that Dr. Kwame Kyei would gladly accept any call from His Royal Majesty, as he considers himself a true son of Asanteman and a servant of the Golden Stool.
"For now I will say Dr. Kwame Kyei is my father, I cannot confirm or deny that he (Dr. Kyei) could be retained as the board chairman or made the executive chairman of Kotoko. I have seen and read speculations in the media to that effect but I am unable to speak to that news," he said in an interview with Akoma FM in Kumasi.
"Let me use this occasion to clear this wrong impression on the actual owner of Nations Football Club, Nations Fc is not for Dr Kyei but rather his two children, the stadium (Dr. Kyei Complex) is his personal property. The main reason he bought and renovated the stadium was to serve the interest of Kotoko"
"Should His Royal Majesty call on him anytime, he (Dr. Kyei) will happily and willingly accept the call, he cannot turn his back on Manhyia as a true son of Asanteman and a servant of the Golden stool."
