Asante Kotoko have confirmed the appointment of Akakpo Patron as new assistant coach ahead of the new season.
The former West African Football Academy assistant coach was reported to have been earmarked to handle youth side of Kotoko but the Porcupine Warriors now wants him to assist head coach Steve Polack.
"Asante Kotoko SC is delighted to announce the appointment of ex-player of the Fabulous Club, Raphael Akakpo Patron as the new assistant coach to Steve Polack.
"Akakpo penned a two-year contract with the FA Cup champions and is expected to assist Polack in achieving set targets for Kotoko," a club statement read.
The appointment of Akakpo means Godwin Ablordey will be relegated to his original position as the Team Manager of the club.
