Chief Executive officer of Ashantigold Frederick Acheampong has accused new Asante Kotoko coach C.K Akonnor of tapping -up Ashantigold players in a bid to lure them to Kumasi.
Tapping-up of players under contract is illegal and punishable by the football regulations.
Acheampong, who doubles as a sports pundit at Kessben FM, said former Ashanti Gold gaffer is using his good relationship with the Miners players to induce them to Kotoko.
Speaking on Kessben FM on the issue, Frederick Acheampong described their former coach approach as unfortunate.
“Amos Addai told me C K Akonnor called him not once but several times. C k Akonnor should stop calling our players, he is no more our coach he should concentrate on his new club and stop calling our players” the Ashantigold CEO fumed.
“Not only Amos Addai but some of other players too, he is using his relationship with the players to try and convince them to join him at Kotoko” he added.
“I want to tell C K that things are not the same as it use to be, he thought Amos contract was running out so he was trying to convince him not to renew his contract. Not knowing the player renewed his contract some weeks ago. If Kotoko want our players they should write officially to Ashanti Gold and stop calling our players. That is not the right way ” He explained.
