Former Captain of Kumasi Asante Kotoko, Joseph Hendricks has called on the skipper of Kumasi Asante Kotoko to be strong and assertive if he wants to lead the team out of the current problems facing the team.
Kumasi Asante Kotoko has been in the news for all the wrong reasons in the last few weeks for their abysmal performance in the ongoing Ghana Premier League.
The search for a solution started on Monday morning with the substantive coach, David Duncan asked to step aside for his assistant Michael Osei to take over.
But the former Skipper of the club believes the leadership of the playing body also need to stand up and be counted.
Speaking on Dwidwa’m on Wednesday, Joe Hendricks challenged the leadership of playing body to initiate moves that will get Kotoko working again.
Being the captain of Kotoko automatically makes you a management member, so Amos Frimpong should be strong and lead his team. I am not sure he and the other senior players have done enough to get the team out of its current predicament. I know he met the life patron of the team, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and he told him there was no problem with the technical team, management team and the playing body. So what it means is that the players have a chunk of the job to do. I remember in my time I met Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and we spoke at length when the team got into a similar situation. I expect him to show that strength because he is leading the biggest club in the country
The former stalwart defender of Kumasi Asante Kotoko also charged Stephen Oduro to assist Amos Frimpong to steady the ship of Kotoko.
I think Stephen Oduro was maintained for a reason so he should buck up and let his experience count. He has served under a lot of management and Coaches so this is where he is most needed as the most senior member of the squad.
Kumasi Asante Kotoko lock horns with Liberty Professionals on Sunday at the Kumasi Baba Yara Stadium with the hope of getting back to winning ways after the exit of Coach David Duncan.
