Former Black Stars coach Kwasi Appiah has expressed confidence in new Asante Kotoko Chief Executive Officer, Nana Yaw Amponsah, backing him to have a successful time at the club.

Appiah, who captained Kotoko during his playing days, described Amponsah as a learned person with the right experience Kotoko need at the moment.

He believes Amponsah, who contested the GFA presidential election last year, will bring unity and make money for the club.

"I personally think Nana Yaw Amponsah will be successful at the Porcupine club," Appiah said on Light FM.

"A learned person with experience from all walks of the world speaks volume as to the competence he has to lead and make the club flourish.

“He will instil unity among the supporters and help generate money for the club so all and sundry must canvass their total support for him."

Kwasi Appiah also stated the need for the new management to build a formidable team, capable of dominating in Ghana and winning continental titles.

"We need to plan a 4-5 year project to build a formidable team in order to compete very well domestically and internationally through the blend of quality young and experienced players.

"The supporters should be detailed about the project and exercise patience for it to grow," he added.

Amponsah was appointed this month a three-year contract.
