Asante Kotoko players in pain after bowing out of the FA Cup

Maxwell Konadu, a former Asante Kotoko head coach, believes disunity cost the club’s chances of winning the Premier League title.

The Porcupine Warriors, after showing an early ambition of winning the title, lost the race to their bitterest rivals, Hearts of Oak and finished in the 2nd position with 57 points.

And Konadu, who is now the head coach of Legon Cities, believes disunity among the playing body, board and management cost them the title.

“Lack of unity cost Asante Kotoko the Premier League title,” he told Nhyira FM.

“There was no unity among the players, technical team and all those who matter at the club,” he added.
