GRATITUDE TO HIS MAJESTY OTUMFUO OSEI TUTU II, AS HE GRANTS ME HIS BLESSINGS TO LEAVE ASANTE KOTOKO FOR A NEW CHALLENGE
After four years of serving the great Kumasi Asante Kotoko, it is with mixed emotions that I announce my departure from the club, to pursue a new challenge in my football management career.
Getting the opportunity to work at Asante Kotoko was a rare privilege, not only working at one of the biggest football clubs on the African continent, but it was also a privilege to serve His Majesty, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II – something I will forever cherish.
My utmost gratitude goes to Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, for allowing me to work in his club, getting the support of Manhyia throughout my time, and also getting his blessings to pursue a new challenge on the African continent.
Indeed I could not have left without the blessings of His Majesty, and I will forever be grateful.
Working for Asante Kotoko has offered me invaluable experience in football management, as I experienced both high and low moments with the club. Winning the Ghana Premier League in the 2021/2022 season and leading the club back to Africa will forever be a proud moment.
And the topsy-turvey season the club had, in my final season with the club, was an experience I wish could have been a different story. However, I leave with great joy, seeing that the club ended the season strongly, with an indication of a stronger season ahead.
I thank the former CEO of the club Nana Yaw Amponsah, as well as all management members, staff, technical team members, and playing body that I have worked with. To the fans, your loyal support of the club always serves as inspiration for all those who work for this great club, and I was not an exception.
In the true spirit of the club’s motto, “wo kum apem, apem be a’ Asante Kotoko will rise again and reclaim its rightful place as champions of Ghana, as well as the quest to see the club among the elites on the African continent.
Dasoberi has over 15 years of football administration expertise and will be in charge of managing the CAF Club Licensing System, Stadium Licensing, and League Development
He will also assist with the Professional Football Department’s programs and activities.
