After serving their three-year mandate, the 12-member board of Asante Kotoko has been dissolved by Manhyia, following the submission of their reports for the period of their work.
In an interview with Akoma FM, former Management member Nana Gyambib Coker expressed that Dr. Kwame Kyei is ready to lead Asante Kotoko again if called upon by Manhyia. During Dr. Kwame Kyei’s previous administration, Mr. Coker was part of the management team.
Coker clarified that Dr. Kwame Kyei is not the owner of the newly promoted Nations FC but rather the owner of the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex in Abrankese, which was purchased and renovated to serve the interests of Asante Kotoko.
Regarding Dr. Kyei’s potential role in the club’s future, Coker stated that he cannot confirm or deny whether Dr. Kyei will be retained as the board chairman or be made the executive chairman of Kotoko.

However, he emphasized that if called upon by His Royal Majesty, Dr. Kyei would gladly and willingly accept the call, as he is a true son of Asanteman and a servant of the Golden Stool.
“For now I will say Dr. Kwame Kyei is my father, I cannot confirm or deny that he (Dr. Kyei) could be retained as the board chairman or made the executive chairman of Kotoko. I have seen and read speculations in the media to that effect but I am unable to speak to that news,” he said in an interview with Akoma FM in Kumasi.
“Let me use this occasion to clear this wrong impression on the actual owner of Nations Football Club, Nations Fc is not for Dr Kyei but rather his two children, the stadium (Dr. Kyei Complex) is his personal property. The main reason he bought and renovated the stadium was to serve the interest of Kotoko”
“Should His Royal Majesty call on him anytime, he (Dr. Kyei) will happily and willingly accept the call, he cannot turn his back on Manhyia as a true son of Asanteman and a servant of the Golden stool.”
As the Porcupine Warriors prepare for the upcoming season, a new board of directors and management team is expected to be named in the coming days following the submission of the three-year report.
