Nana Yaw Amponsah, the CEO of Asante Kotoko, has faced significant criticism from the media for his performance and behavior following the departure of Seydou Zerbo.
There have been ongoing rumors that the young CEO is in conflict with the club's board of directors over the decision to dismiss the Burkinabé coach.
Since assuming the position of CEO of Kumasi Asante Kotoko, there has been a significant divide between the supporters and the team's management. Some supporters blame him for the low attendance during Kotoko matches at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
Recent negative media coverage and comments about Nana Yaw Amponsah have disappointed Awal Mohammed, a former Kotoko defender.
In an interview with Ghanasportspage.com, Awal stated that he knows Nana Yaw Amponsah personally took him to Raja, Russia, and Saudi Arabia. He acknowledged that Nana Yaw Amponsah is a young man with his own ideas, but he also emphasized that the supporters should return to the stadium to show their support for the team.
Awal believes that this is the most crucial aspect of Kotoko and that the team is significant. Awal said: “For Nana Yaw Amponsah I know him personally. He took me to Raja, Russia and Saudi. He is my man. The job cannot exceed his strength. He is a young man. He has his own ideas. You can see it. The supporters should comeback. That’s the most important thing in Kotoko to show that team is big"
“The name Kotoko will never change. The stadium should be filled even if they are playing against Black Queens. Is their duty and not Nana Yaw Amponsah. He came to work. He will do what he can and go. There’s no need to say whether he can do the job or not… I am always sad just because of the supporters. They have to be proud of the team that they support,” Awal Mohammed stated.
