Board of Directors of Asante Kotoko will soon hold talks with Phar Rangers president, Nana Yaw Amponsah, over the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) job.

The management team of the club, which was led by George Amoako, has been dissolved following the inauguration of the new nine-member Board.

The CEO position has since become vacant following the exit of Mr Amoako.

Reports available to Adomonline.com indicate that the Board will hold a meeting in Accra on Tuesday, June 23.

The hierarchy of the club has identified the former Ghana Football Association (GFA) presidential candidate as the man to be new CEO of the club.

Should he be named, the Kotoko job will hand him a major selling tool to build his credibility and image in local football.

Last week, former GFA vice president, George Afriyie, who was also linked to the job, denied being interested in the job as was previously thought.

In a wave of new changes, the incoming CEO is expected to work closely with the Board, which was constituted recently at the instance of the club’s life patron Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
