\"\"<\/a>English Premiership side, Sunderland AFC today July 18, 2011, has signed a partnership agreement with top Ghanaian club Kumasi Asante Kotoko FC.<\/p>\n

According to a statement<\/a> on Sunderland\u2019s official website, the new partnership will see Sunderland share its coaching and business expertise with Kotoko, offering practical support and advice in youth coaching, player development, fitness and medical matters and football business strategy.<\/p>\n

Kotoko in turn will work closely with Sunderland to help the club build and grow its brand in the emerging African territory, the statement said.<\/p>\n

Chairman of Sunderland, Niall Quinn was cited in the statement as saying, \u201cIt was a huge honour to welcome the Kotoko officials to our club and I\u2019m delighted that we have now formalised a partnership agreement with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

When ghanabusinessnews.com called Dr. K.K. Sarpong, Executive Chairman of Kotoko FC on phone to give more details of the agreement, he said he was in a meeting and could therefore not comment.<\/p>\n
