Barring any changes, Nana Yaw Amponsah will be officially unveiled as new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for Ghanaian giants Asante Kotoko in Kumasi on Friday, August 7, Footy-Ghana.com has been told.
This follows a final board meeting on his appointment on Tuesday.
Footy-Ghana.com hinted Monday that the Dr Kwame Kyei-led 12-member board had received the all-clear for their choice from ownership – the Asantehene – after a head-hunt exercise settled on the recent Ghana FA presidential candidate.
Nana Yaw Amponsah, back in June, met the Kotoko board where he delivered a presentation of his five-year progression plan for the club and is said to have convinced the members as the right man for the job.
He is likely to be unveiled alongside members of his management team that will run the day-to-day affairs of the record Ghanaian champions.
