The first was the President\u2019s Cup match in July which Kotoko won 4-1 on penalties.<\/p>\n<p>According to Otumfuo, any player who does not have the love for Kotoko would not succeed as the club represents the soul of the kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>He, however, said success would follow players who will play their hearts out for the club throughout their careers and urged them to \u201ckill themselves for the team to win more laurels.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFootball is your vocation and as such you need to devote yourself to it and do it to earn you the living you want\u201d, he advised.<\/p>\n<p>He praised the Dr Kyei-led administration for the good work done within one year in office. He said the team had been able to win two trophies within a year through the hard work and financial support of the board chairman.<\/p>\n<p>For his part, Dr Kyei also expressed his gratitude to Otumfuo Osei Tutu II for the confidence reposed in him and his team to manage Kotoko.<\/p>\n<p>He assured Otumfuo and Asanteman that the team would bring home the continental cup come next year.<\/p>\n<p>Coach Steven Polack, who has extended his contract for another year, was also part of the delegation, which was crowded by a large army of supporters.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 55 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sports News of Friday, 17 November 2017 Source: Graphic.com.gh 2017-11-17 Kotoko presented the FA Cup to Otumfuo The Life Patron of Asante Kotoko Sporting Club, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has given Dr Kwame Kyei the nod to manage the club for another season while charging the technical team and playing body to restore the glorious [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":438235,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-438234","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
