Former Asante Kotoko General Manager says Dr Kwame Kyei will not turn down the opportunity to continue his job at the club.
Dr Kyei, who is the Board Chairman of the 12-member board of directors have expired.
The board has however been dissolved by Manhyia with the final reports of their three-year mandate expected to be submitted this week.
However, Nana Gyambib Coker, says Kwame Kyei is willing and ready to lead the club if he is called upon again by Manhyia.
“For now I will say Dr Kwame Kyei is my father, I cannot confirm or deny that he (Dr Kyei) could be retained as the board chairman or made the executive chairman of Kotoko. I have seen and read speculations in the media to that effect but I am unable to speak to that news,” he said in an interview with Akoma FM in Kumasi.
“Should His Royal Majesty call on him anytime, he (Dr Kyei) will happily and willingly accept the call, he cannot turn his back on Manhyia as a true son of Asanteman and a servant of the Golden stool.”
Coker also clarified that Dr Kwame Kyei is not the owner of the newly promoted Nations FC but the owner of the team is his son.
He also revealed the main reason behind Dr Kwame Kyei’s purchase and renovation of the Dr Kwame Kyei sports complex in Abrankese, stating that it was to serve the interests of Asante Kotoko.
“Let me use this occasion to clear this wrong impression on the actual owner of Nations Football Club, Nations FC is not for Dr Kyei but rather for his two children, the stadium (Dr Kyei Complex) is his personal property. The main reason he bought and renovated the stadium was to serve the interest of Kotoko”
As the Porcupine Warriors prepare for the upcoming season, a new board of directors is expected to be named in the coming days, along with a new management team.
Meanwhile, Executive Council Member of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Frederick Acheampong is likely to be named the Chief Executive Officer of Asante Kotoko if Dr Kwame Kyei is retained as Board Chairman.
