Former Asante Kotoko head coach, Isaac Boateng, has called on the life patron of the club, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II to dissolve the 12-member board of directors.
Asante Kotoko have ended the 2020/21 football campaign trophyless.
Popularly known in football circles as ‘Coach Opeele’, the coach said some members on the board are not helping Dr Kwame Kyei, who is the Chairman of the Board, and the management to achieve their target.
The Porcupine Warriors lost the Premier League title to their rivals, Hearts of Oak.
The playing body was hoping to defend their MTN FA Cup title after failing to clinch the Premier League.
In a quarterfinal game against Berekum Chelsea, Kotoko lost 4-5 on penalty shoot-out to end their season trophyless.
And according to the experienced gaffer, Otumfuo must intervene and solve, especially the impasse between the Board Chairman and Nana Yaw Amponsah, who the Chief Executive Officer of the club.
He stressed that the board must be dissolved since it is only Dr Kyei who is still financing the club.
“Asante Kotoko to end the season trophyless is worrying,” he said on the Ultimate Sports Show on Asempa FM.

“Should Manhyia summon the board and the management, all of them will be sacked because I have been a witness to such an incident in the past.
“This is Kotoko and not an ordinary club but I am imploring Otumfuo Osei Tutu to dissolve the board because they are not helping Dr Kwame Kyei. They were brought on board to help but they are not helping.
“Otumfuo should resolve any impasse between Dr Kyei and Nana Yaw Amponsah to ensure the smooth running of the club.
“He [Nana Yaw Amponsah] has demonstrated that he has a lot of ideas but with what is happening, if we all sit ideal, then the club can’t win anything meaningful,” he added.
