Former Kumasi Asante Kotoko coach, Maxwell Konadu says the time given him to manage the Porcupine Warriors was insufficient.

In his first major interview after his dismissal weeks ago, Mr Konadu said he had little time to bond with the players.

“It was a new team and players will want to exhibit their individual brilliance rather than playing as a team and that made the gelling of the team difficult. It is the reason we started the season very poorly, but I knew with time, the team will settle,” he said in an interview with Kumasi-based Nhyira FM.

Mr Konadu said after watching the Kotoko clash against Aduana Stars he was convinced there has not been any significant change in the team after he was sacked.

“Ever since I left, the only Kotoko game I watched was against Aduana Stars and there hasn’t been any changes. The only difference is that Fabio Gama has been cleared and now plays actively for the team,” he concluded.

Konadu, who won the league with Kotoko in 2012, was re-appointed in December 2019, for a new three year term.

The former assistant coach of the Black Stars was shown the exit door hours after their defeat to Accra Great Olympics some few weeks ago.
