Asante Kotoko coach Maxwell says he�s surprised at his quick rise on the job. The stock of the ex-Ghana international has risen quickly after making Kotoko an attractive side on the domestic scene in his first term in charge. The Kumasi-based side is on the threshold of winning their first League title in four years and represents the West African country in Africa�s elite inter-club competition next term. He has been strongly linked with the Black Stars assistant job role and the former All Stars boss says he�s startled at the impact he�s made. �To be honest with you I wasn�t expecting this,� Konadu said �When I took the job, I was not looking at making an impact in a short time. But here we�re. �I am very surprised and I believe the collective effort of everybody has helped us a lot,� Kotoko will seal their 22nd Premier League title if they negotiate their tie against struggling Berekum Arsenals on Sunday.
