Kojo Addae-Mensah, the chief executive officer of Databank, thinks Asante Kotoko won’t have any impact in the CAF Champions League even if Jose Mourinho or Alex Ferguson are the head coach.
The Porcupine Warriors are looking for a new coach after losing Prosper Narteh Ogum as their head coach.
It would be challenging for any coach to take Kotoko to the CAF Champions League after only six months in charge, according to Kojo Addae-Mensah.
“Clearly, I am not going to expect that we are going to have a coach who will come in six weeks to Africa with the kind of material we have, to go and make impact,” Addae-Mensah said.
“We can bring Mourinho or go and bring Ferguson or whoever to come into Kotoko, there is no way we will make an impact with a new coach, with disgruntled players, with players who are not sure whether they are going to renew their contracts, I mean it’s a pity,” he added.
If coach Prosper Narteh had stayed, according to the former Kotoko Express columnist, Kotoko would have had a significant influence at the CAF Champions League.
“Already with Ogum and with the players, I had said that, I followed from the quarter-finals of the champions league and the confederations cup, it was already going to be an uphill task to break into the group stage,” he stated.
