The life Patron of Kumasi Asante Kotoko FC Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has sacked the Management after meeting with the players and shareholders at the Manhyia Palace.

The Five Member Management Team has failed to assist the defending league champions from the dwindling performance at the Globacom sponsored league and an in house fighting that has eaten deep into the playing body.

The life patron without delay re-appointed Six-Member Interim Committee to steer the affairs of the club by rescuing the deteriorating performance until the end of the 2009 league season.

The new management team is made up of Mr Ben Nti, an executive of the national circles committee of the club, Alhaji Nje and Madam Helena Cobbinah, both former board members of the club; Rev. Osei Kofi, Opoku Afriyie and Safo Gyamfi are former players.

Quite apart from the poor performances of the playing body, they also have responsibility to solve the factions creeping within the supporting groups to rally behind the club in these difficult times by helping the team to occupy respectable position on the league table.

Lately, Asante Kotoko with the largest supporters group in the country hardly follows the team as they used to in many years.

The Committee is to meet over the weekend to elect their leader.
However, after their appointment as IMC they have been greeted with a narrow goal defeat by Hearts of Lions at their home ground Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi.
