Sarfo Duku commends Kotoko Board for ‘bold decision’ to sack four players

Former Asante Kotoko Communications Director, Sarfo Duku, has hailed the club’s current board for taking what he describes as a bold decision to part ways with four players, admitting his administration lacked the courage to make similar moves.

The Porcupine Warriors, according to Luv Sports checks, have terminated the contracts of striker Kwame Poku, winger Elvis Kyei Baffour, left-back Francis Acquah, and goalkeeper Benjamin Twum.

Although the club has not officially disclosed the reasons behind the departures, Sarfo Duku believes issues of indiscipline may have influenced the decision.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Luv FM in Kumasi, the former Kotoko management member revealed that the previous administration had encountered similar disciplinary challenges but failed to act decisively.

“Let me admit that it wasn’t the best. I strongly believe that, we should have taken some bold decision to ensure the best of discipline in the team but at a point, we were not men enough to take those bold decision and it also affected the club.

“I am aware of the bold decisions they have taken [parting ways with new players]. It’s something we should have done at a point in time but because of the way we have been brought up [we couldn’t].

“We had a terrible season though we started so well. You cannot talk about the playing body without talking about the technical handlers because I think their tactics might have not worked.

“But to the extent that things didn’t work, you cannot put the blame squarely on the players even management had a part to play, it means we also didn’t recruit the best for the club, we have to admit,” he concluded.
