Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has entrusted Asante Kotoko into the hands of Dr Kwame Kyei for a second time after retaining him as Executive Chairman of the club.

The businessman will head newly-constituted Board of Directors made of nine members.

Dr Kwame Kyei's first term lasted for three years as it ended in December 2019. But he has been retained after a three-member committee concluded their investigation of the club's affairs under his tenure.

He will be assisted by Jude Arthur, who served as a board member in 2013. Tema-based businessman and two-time board member Alhaji Lamine has also been brought back to be part of the new team.

Former sports journalist Evelyn Nsiah Asare, who is now Director of Sports at the Sunyani Technical University is also part of the board.

Other members include Joseph Yaw Adu, Laryea Kwamina Mensah, Kwadwo Boateng Genfi.

According to letter by Manhyia Palace Chief of Staff, Kofi Badu, the new Board of Directors have been tasked to rebuild the Kotoko brand not only for its performance on the sporting field but as a viable economic entity.
