Opoku Nti "May" Keep His Job At Kotoko

Samuel Opoku Nti, General Manager of Asante Kotoko, could continue as head of the club’s management after his term of office.

The former Kotoko goal poacher who was tasked to lead the administration of the club after Dr. K K Sarpong resigned from his post, has been a villain and a hero.

The supporters of the club has been divided, with a chunk of them wanting to leave the club. Life Patron Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II was expected to announce the termination of his service about two months ago after a dreadful start to the 2015-16 Ghana Premier League (GPL), but sources revealed that Opoku Nti and his team will see off his two years term which ends this month.

However, after a change of fortunes, Asantehene considers extending Nti’s tenure for the next two years.

It is unclear if Opoku Nti will embrace the honour, but it is certain his services will be extended for the next two years.
