Konadu: Kotoko need technical director

The former Porcupine Warriors manager has backed the club's decision to bring on board a technical director to support the coach.

Ghana assistant coach Maxwell Konadu believes the decision by Asante Kotoko's top hierarchy to appoint a technical director to provide support to caretaker coach Michael Osei is a good one.

Kotoko parted company with former head coach David Duncan in April, while the club languished at the bottom of the league log after taking just six points from eight matches this season.

However, Osei, who took over in the interim and had a promising start, has begun to struggle in the second-half of the season.

“I think it’s a good idea [to appoint a technical director]. That will help the team and help Michael Osei himself,” Konadu told Starr FM.

“Looking at the performance of the team in the second round, things haven’t gone too well so I think appointing a technical director will help.

“I also think Michael Osei shouldn’t take the blame alone but at this moment, if things are happening this way then your name will be mentioned because he is the one leading the team. But I think appointing a technical director will really help him and the Kotoko as well,” he added.

Goal understands that former Kotoko coach Malik 'Johnny' Jabir is likely to be appointed the new technical director before the close of the week.

 
Kotoko will host Dreams FC in matchday 23 on Wednesday at the Baba Yara Stadium. The Kumasi-based club has picked only two points in their last five games, dropping four places to sixth position, six points behind leaders Hearts of Oak.
