Mariano Barreto won’t help Kotoko - Local Chief calls for sack of ex-Black Stars coach

Published on: 30 June 2021

Nana Tufuhene Ofosu Yeboah I, a chief of Dawu has called for Asante Kotoko to sack coach Mariano Barreto after losing to Hearts of Oak on Sunday.

The Porcupine Warriors' task of winning the league title have been made difficult following the 1-0 loss at the Accra Sports stadium on match week 31 of the Ghana Premier League.

Kotoko are now three points behind Hearts with three matches left to play.

In an interview with Peace FM, Nana Yeboah said, "That white man won’t help Kotoko. They should sack him. What’s the essence of paying him the GHs 8000 salary."

"I’m very pissed at his comments about the Dawu Park. If individuals have struggled to put this together and you run it down like that, it’s unfortunate."

He added, "If he is a good coach he would have been considered for the job when there were vacancies at Tottenham and other clubs. He is not offering Kotoko anything. It’s better the club compiles his monthly salary of $8000 and use it to fast track their Adako Jachie project."

"The game is over, the league is beyond us so what else is he offering, they should sack him," Nana Yeboah furiously declared.

Kotoko will have to face King Faisal, Bechem United and Elmina Sharks.
