Former Kumasi Asante Kotoko captain and 1983 CAF Champions League winner, Papa Arko has called on supporters of the club to rally behind the team after the appointment of new board of directors and CEO.
According to him, the Kumasi based club can reclaim it lost glories if the supporters back management in their activities.
The Manhyia Palace recently appointed a 12 member board of director’s spear headed by Dr Kwame Kyei to steer the affairs of the porcupine warriors.
The board after assuming office dissolved the then management members of the club headed by George Amoako.
Following months of talks as to who was going to be appointed as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Porcupine Warriors, the board of directors of the Kumasi-based team finally settled on Nana Yaw Amponsah.
In an interview with Kumasi based Angel FM, Papa Arko said, “The supporters too have a key role to play in bringing back the lost glories of the club. We were successful during our time because of the fans, in fact they took 50% of the successes we chalked. So I will plead with them to be behind the team when the going gets tough” he said.
“For Kotoko to be successful, I think the board and the CEO must unite. I’m optimistic the club can go far if they unite themselves”
