Kumasi Asante Kotoko and rivals Hearts of Oak will continue to suffer dwindling fortunes unless the clubs and their management give coaches time to build title-winning sides, Coach Paa Kwesi Fabin has told Joy Sports. Fabin had successive dismissals at the two biggest clubs in the country, three years after being voted the Premier League’s best coach with Heart of Lions. Hearts and Kotoko’s dominance in the league has been ended by Aduana Stars and Berekum Chelsea in the last two seasons. Paa Kwesi Fabin, who currently coaches the Division One promotional play-offs club Wassaman FC, says both traditional clubs must give coaches the free hand to operate. Recounting his experience at Kotoko, Coach Fabin said he joined them “eight days to the beginning of the league with players having been purchased already; I went and met a team with players that were not the type of players that I wanted and therefore there was nothing I could do.” He said even though he requested for at least two years to be able to build a formidable team, management did not listen. The experience at Hearts of Oak, according to him, was no different. Source: Joy Sports/Ghana
