Kumasi Asante Kotoko coach Mariano Barreto has tasked management to launch investigations into their final Ghana Premier League game of the season tie with Elmina Sharks at the Nduom Sports Complex.

Bareto missed his lads final game due to suspension following his 2 game match ban imposed on him by the GFA.

The Porcupine Warriors were stunned by a lone goal to relegation – bound Elmina Sharks on the final day of the season to maintain their status in the Ghana Premier League next season.

“In the last match some strange things happened.

“I have already said that these issues have to be investigated and punish those that have to be punished.

“This is to the board of Kotoko and these things should not happen.

“Kotoko is a big brand and one of the biggest clubs in Africa.

“What happened this season I hope never happens again to any player or coach,” he revealed following their defeat in the quarter finals of the FA Cup against Berekum Chelsea.

Kotoko, who recently narrowly lost out on the Ghana Premier League title to arch-rivals Hearts, will be unable to retain the FA Cup title won last season after they were knocked out of the Ghana FA Cup following a penalty shootout defeat to Berekum Chelsea on Sunday.

For the first time since 2015, the Porcupine Warriors have ended their season without a trophy.
