Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Asante Kotoko, George Amoako, has slammed Hearts of Oak head coach Kim Grant, claiming that football is not run by mouth.
Under-pressure Kim Grant had recently criticised the Porcupine Warriors recruitment policy, saying 'they brought a lot of players without any structure.'
However, in an interview with Asempa FM, George Amoako stated that running the two most successful clubs in Ghana is not an easy task.
"With Hearts of Oak coach [Kim Grant], he started jabbing Kotoko when he took up the job. He made a statement to the effect that we [Kotoko] do recruitment without any plan," he said.
"Hearts of Oak and Kotoko are not run by mouth; that work is really difficult, you need to be praying while doing the job.
"Have you seen what he has done after one year in office? His supporters say he has done nothing so he has to work hard."
He adds, "If you build houses and buy buses while managing Kotoko and the players are not able to deliver on the field of play, it means nothing. You will be seen doing something only when the players play entertaining football and score.
"That is the first and foremost, you have to achieve that and that is what we are struggling to get to that stage."
Asante Kotoko added another silverware to their trophy cabinet after beating Hears of Oak 2-1 to clinch the 2019 President Cup at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi.
