Communications Director, Kwame Baah Nuako, did not give details but said the package is mouth watering and has been agreed on by both parties. He said the players have promised to do their best to win the cup and management will also do its best to honour their part of the bargain.
“It favours everybody and it also encourages good competition as every player will seek to do his best to get a place in the team” Kwame said.
At the meeting management commended the playing body for their excellent performance in the first round of the league. They also discussed bonuses and other matters.
Chairman Sylvester Asare- Owusu expressed management’s joy with the team and spoke of how proud they were with the playing body.
“You have made the loyal supporters proud and we can only encourage you to move ahead. You have set great standards for yourself and every club will target you in the second round”.
“We believe in your abilities, take them out and win the league in style”
On their part, Skipper Emmanuel Osei Kuffour promised of the players’ determination to do their best to maintain the standard and called for support from management and all loyal supporters’.
In another related development, management has been briefed by the technical team on the match against Wikki Tourists. Sylvester Asare- Owusu, George Amoako, Jerry Asare and Kwame Baah Nuako met the technical team at the Murtala Mohammed Airport and were duly briefed by the coach who explained to them everything that went on in the match, the first round of the league and the programme for the rest of the season.
The Kotoko Express learnt that management is satisfied with the technical team’s report and have made certain suggestions that will help the club in the league and the Africa campaign.
