Asante Kotoko's newly appointed coach Maxwell Konadu has tasked himself to help the club get it's lost glory back.
Maxwell believes his second coming to the Porcupine Warriors is filled with a lot of expectations but pleaded with the red army to exercise patient as he builds a befitting team.
Speaking during his first interview after his appointment, the 47-year-old Black Stars B coach described the current situation of the club as not as bad as one could imagine.
“My presence here is to help the club reclaim its lost glory”, he said explaining that the decision to come back to help position the club at its rightful place was the right one.
Even though his predecessor, Kjetil Zachariassen, was fired for nonperformance, Coach Konadu insisted that the situation of the team was not that bad because somebody must start for others to continue.
“I wouldn’t describe the current state of the club as bad, someone must start for others to continue. But sometimes it is frustrating to watch your team not playing well when you expect them to”, he stated.
“For now I ask for a little patience from the fans so that when the team takes off everything will go well for us. But for now the way everybody is following the club with their hearts, I think God will show us his mercy”, he said.
“There are a lot of things that I know now which I didn’t know then, besides I am bringing a lot of experience and knowledge I have acquired from other coaches that I have worked with in the past”, Coach Konadu said
He expressed gratitude to the management and supporters for their warm reception, he stated emphatically that he could not do the work without the technical team and urged whoever would be part of his backroom staff to work hard so that at the end they would all share the job.
Konadu won the league in 2011 with Kotoko said his return to the club is better than his previous stint because working on the technical team of the Black Stars has given him in-depth knowledge about the job.
