Ghanaians on social media have shared their thoughts on the decision by management of Kumasi Asante Kotoko to sack Maxwell Konadu.
A Twitter post by Asante Kotoko sighted by GhanaWeb.com on Friday read:
“Management of Asante Kotoko Sporting Club wishes to inform the general public that it has decided to part ways with Coach Maxwell Konadu as its Head Coach with immediate effect. Coach Johnson Smith has been appointed to lead the team in the interim.”
News of the dismissal of Maxwell Konadu comes in hours after Kotoko suffered defeat to Accra Great Olympics in the Ghana Premier League on Thursday, December 17.
Maxwell Konadu’s second coming to Asante Kotoko was met with a number of worrying statistics.
The coach supervised 18 matches, earning 8 wins, 6 draws and losing 4 games. He had a win rate of 44%, whiles his team succeeded in scoring 17 goals and conceding 10 goals.
However, the dismissal of the former Black Stars coach has been met with divided views from the public.

I think this won't solve the problem. He just bought 10 new players how does he formed a spine? He needed time. Got to support my mgt on this though but I felt he needed a bit of time

I don't normally support sacking of Coaches but Maxwell has not shown any improvement after all the players signed for him. Goodluck to him. We move

Maxwell need to blame himself such an experienced coach you allow management to impose players who have been inactive for 3 seasons to Kotoko hmm for Pee Jay Moses the communication manager to tell us Adomako is a prolific striker with 3 chances he will score 2 ???????? concert ????????

The performance of the team is so abysmal when you are watching them. I don't know what is wrong with @Konadu4Maxwell in terms of his tactics. Wish him well anyway. Hope they get a good replacement but all the current technical team must leave when we appoint new coach
— MICHAEL OWUSU ASENSO (@MASENSO) December 18, 2020
Please it's true that the Hisense contract is helping our opposing team instead of our darling club. Because I hear that if any player score a winning goal that player will be payed Ghc 5000.00. Please come out and explain to us

The sacking of coaches isn't a long term solution. However for a coach of Maxwell's calibre, he should have done better with Kotoko so far. How can you offload almost half of your team and bring in new faces with some never playing football for a longer time and you rather rely
— Stephen Osei-Akoto (@daviciouz) December 18, 2020
Hmm ay3 ka. Although Incase of anything the coach have to be blamed but you need to work on the players as well because some are not performing well at all.
