Ex-Asante Kotoko coach Frimpong Manso feels the club took a rash decision in sacking Maxwell Konadu after five games played in the Ghana Premier League.
Last week, the Porcupine Warriors terminated the contract of Konadu following a disappointing 1-0 loss to Great Olympics at the Accra Sports stadium.
The former Black Stars assistant coach had been at the helm of affairs since December last year - the Olympics defeat the Porcupine Warriors' first of the new season.
"The problem with the Kotoko team has to do with midfield. We should get time for coaches so they can build their teams. Team-building takes time and club administrators must be patient," Manso said as reported by HappyGhana.
"Sixteen players arrived this season at Kotoko and it takes time for the players to play together as a unit. Look at where some of the players came from to join the team.
"The Brazilian and some of them from Europe also needed time to get fitness because they were not playing. Some old players at the team last season also left after their contract expiration. The factors are too many.
"If they were patient it could have been better. Now the problem will linger on because the new coach will now have to adapt to the players [and] also bring in his players."
Kotoko have announced assistant coach Johnson Smith as the new head coach in the interim and he guided the club to a 1-0 away victory over Dreams FC in the Premier League on Sunday.
