A member of the newly-constituted Asante Kotoko Board of Directors, Kwadwo Boateng Genfi says their immediate target is to win the Ghana Premier League title.
The nine-member board was announced by club owner Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II on Thursday. Dr Kwame Kyei is the head of the new team after retaining his position as Executive Chairman of the club.
“Football is about quality players and we will look around the country and beyond and get the best players for Kotoko,” Mr Genfi said in an interview with Kesseben FM.
“Our immediate target will be winning the league and then proceed to do well in Africa”.
“I was born into Kotoko and have been a supporter since. I was a footballer myself. My playing style was like Opoku Afriyie of blessed memory”.
With Asante Kotoko looking a sleeping giant, Kwadwo Boateng Genfi admits plans to revive the club and take it to where it rightfully belongs is an arduous but doable task.
“The task is a difficult one but it is doable” he noted.
The Chief Executive Officer of Ghana EXIM bank, however, acknowledged that to realize their objectives of winning on the pitch, the club requires quality players.
He has promised that the club plans to travel beyond the boundaries of Ghana to recruit the best of talents if need be.
To win as a club, Asante Kotoko will need the backing of their millions of fans. This is something new board member Kwadwo Boateng Genfi says the board won’t overlook.
“The supporters are very important and we will urge them to continue to support the team” he mentioned.
