Asante Kotoko coach, Micheal Osei, says he is unperturbed by the several instances of insubordination exhibited by his defender, Samuel Kyere, who has frequently threatened him.

Kyere, had been relegated from Kotoko’s first team to the junior side after he fell out with the interim coach and the previous management following accusations he levelled against them, claiming the club once played a match of convenience.

According to Osei, he had received abusive text messages which is traceable to Kyere but was unconcerned, considering the age of the player and some people who might be misleading him.

“Kyere reported to training on the first day but he hasn’t reported afterwards, I received various abusive text messages which I traced to him but I didn’t make it a big deal because I think he is young and didn’t want to pursue any further actions, until recently when I heard him on radio talking about my competence as a coach.” Osei said.

He added: “I’m concentrated on doing a better job for Kotoko ahead of the 2016/17 local season, so I’m focused on building a solid team,” he ended.
