Former Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association, Ibrahim Saanie Daara, has made a critical assessment of sports presenter Patrick Osei Agyemang's time as a management member of Asante Kotoko.
Daara believes Countryman Songo, as he is affectionately called, has not played a significant role for Asante Kotoko since his appointment.
Osei Agyemang, popularly known as "Fire for Fire" host on Adom TV, was appointed as a member of Asante Kotoko's Communication team in January 2022, with responsibilities including the promotion of Kotoko matches and projects.
During an interview with Kessben Sports, Ibrahim Saanie Daara, who is recognized as an astute communicator, emphasized the challenges of football administration and suggested that those who criticize from a distance do not fully comprehend the difficulties faced by those in such roles.
“Football administration is not easy. Sitting back afar you can criticize anyhow but given the job you won’t have an idea of what you criticized.
“Example is Sports journalists getting the opportunity to serve in football administration. And I can mention Songo, what has Songo brought to Kotoko since he came to Kotoko as part of the management? It’s not easy as some easy puzzle to be pushed in an empty hole."
Asante Kotoko is currently preparing for their final match of the 2022/23 Ghana Premier League season. They currently occupy the fourth position in the league standings, with 51 points. On match day 34, scheduled for Sunday, June 11, they will face Dreams FC at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
