Kotoko whip Bogdan Korak's attitude into line

Published on: 24 February 2011

Asante Kotoko management claims it has quelled the tension in camp after a shameful rift between head coach Bogdan Korak, his assistant and a player.

The Serbian marched off his assistant Prince Acheampong from the bench after a disagreement on an issue and also ordered David Offei, a second half substitute, to leave the pitch for non-performance.

The incident has made the coach very unpopular among the Kotoko faithful and had to be escorted out of the stadium under police protection.

After a meeting between Executive Chairman Dr. K. K. Sarpong, his special assistant Opoku Nti and Administrative Manager, Benjamin Nti and coaches Bogdan Korak Slobodan and Prince Acheampong helped to improve the strained relationship between the two coaches.

Former management members Alhaji Abubakar Njee and Opoku Afriyie were also present.

A club statement said: "After hearing them and analyzing the issues as raised and espoused, management has come to the conclusion that the coach has for the period of his stay in Kumasi not come to full grips with the cultural and traditional differences between those of Ghana and his home country, Serbia as well as supporters needs regarding friendly and training matches."
