Assistant coach of the Sudan national football team, Ignatius Osei-Fosu, has disclosed that he was never formally contacted about the Asante Kotoko coaching job despite speculations linking him to the role.
Osei-Fosu, who currently works under Sudan head coach Kwesi Appiah—who also serves as Head of Sporting Affairs at Kotoko—said although he appreciates being considered for top roles, timing has always played a crucial role in the decisions he makes throughout his coaching career.
“In the first place, if your name comes up, it means that you have done a fantastic job. But nobody actually contacted me,” Osei-Fosu told Luv FM.
The former Dreams FC and King Faisal F.C. coach explained that he is deliberate when choosing opportunities, stressing that the right timing is key when accepting new roles.
“Timing of the job is always of the essence to me. When I’m picking jobs, it’s always the right time. I don’t jump into it. From the start of my career, my people and I have always talked about timing, so there have been different jobs at different times,” he explained.
Osei-Fosu further revealed that earlier this season, another club in the Ghana Premier League approached him about a potential role, but he declined the offer because the timing was not right.
“In fact, when I came to Ghana earlier this season, there was a Ghana Premier League club that contacted me. But I told them the time was not right,” he added.
