Former Asante Kotoko head coach, Mas-Ud Didi Dramani, has criticized his former employers and incumbent coach of the Porcupine Warriors for their public outburst describing it as unnecessary.

Kotoko head coach, Mariano Barreto on different occasions sparked a frenzy on social media claiming the club was undeserving to be called a “big team”. He further noted he was ready to walk away should conditions remain unchanged.

Speaking to Citi Sports, Didi Dramani indicated that the unfortunate public feud should have been handled internally.

“I don’t know what the exact issue is, but it is not the best to wash your dirty linen in public. Some of these things have to be dealt with within the organization,” he told Citi Sports.

“It is not possible to find just any individual by the way side and bring him into an organization. Due diligence is always done before hiring an individual. He [Barreto] should’ve been aware of the situation at Kotoko before he took the job.

“When such utterances are made it asks serious questions about the future of the Head Coach.

Does he [Barreto] want to leave, or he wants things to be fixed. But the bottom line it shouldn’t have been public because it looks bad on the club,” he added.

The Portuguese coach assumed duty as head coach of the two-time African champions in March as the club unsuccessfully sought to beat archrivals Hearts of Oak to the Ghana Premier League title.
