Former Asante Kotoko coach Abdul Karim ‘Golden Boy’ Razak has begun work as coach of Qatari second-tier side Al Marthiya.

The ex-international has taken charge of three league matches as they lie tenth on the table.

Razak handled the side seven years ago and has been tasked to qualify the team to the Qatar Stars League.

The former Real Tamale United coach has experience working abroad after glittering spells with Stade Malian of Mali where he led them to four successive league titles, three Super Cups and two FA Cups.

The 1978 Africa Cup of Nations winner also coached ASFA Yennega in Burkina Faso (1994), Dragons of Benin (1998) and Etoile Filante of Togo.
