Finally, the management of Kumasi Asante Kotoko have confirmed the
sacking of under-fire coach Mas-Ud Dramani's after the club's board
asked him to proceed on leave with an official statement.
Sources within the club have revealed that the board took the decision
to sack the talented coach after recent difficult results.
"The Board of Directors of Kumasi Asante Kotoko have asked Head Coach,
Mas-ud Didi Dramani to proceed on leave," a statement on the club's
website read.
"This effectively brings his tenure at the club to an end after almost
three seasons."
In a letter dated February 16, 2015 and signed by Board Secretary,
Ishmael Boachie, the Board directed Didi Dramani to "take his
accumulated leave with effect from February 17, 2015."
The Kotoko coach has come under fire in the last one week over the
unimpressive performance of the Porcupines who have 8 points after
seven-match days in the First Capital Plus Premier League.
Didi, in 2012/13 season, his first season at Kotoko won the Premier
League title and repeated it last season.
He won the MTN FA Cup last season.
The future of the former Ghana U17 girls team coach was speculated
after his side's poor run of form in the Ghana Premier League.
Kotoko have amassed eight points from a possible and have slipped into
the bottom half of the Ghana Premier League.
Dramani's three-season spell would be fondly remembered after leading
the club to their first ever league and cup double last season.
