Asante Kotoko is on the cusp of forming a new board and management team for the upcoming season, in accordance with the Club Licensing Board requirements.
The life patron of the club, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, is set to appoint Kontomponiaferehene, Nana Apinkra Akwasi Awuah I as the new Executive Board Chairman, a decision that is expected to be announced in the coming days, pending any last-minute changes.
Nana Apinkra Akwasi Awuah I, who has been serving as the Chairman of the Interim Management Committee (IMC), has impressed the Asantehene with his performance, leading to his expected promotion to the top seat. The IMC, led by Nana Apinkra Akwasi Awuah, has been managing the team since the dissolution of the Dr Kwame Kyei-led board.
Under his leadership, the IMC has had a strong technical director in Kwesi Appiah, head coach Dr Prosper Narteh Ogum, and Emmanuel Dasoberi, who recently left to join CAF.
With his appointment as Executive Board Chairman, Nana Apinkra Akwasi Awua will be joined by other prominent individuals, including Tema-based businessman Alhaji Abu Lamin and Lawyer Kwamina Mensah, who served as a board secretary under the Dr Kwame Kyei-led board.
