Owner and life patron of Asante Kotoko, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II on today, Saturday, July 21, announced a four-member Interim Management Committee (IMC) to run the affairs of the club.

This follows after the dissolution of the 12-member board of directors led by Dr Kwame Kyei and the management led by Nana Yaw Amponsah following the expiration of their mandate.

However, Otumfuo has named the four-member IMC ahead of the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League campaign.

They include Nana Apinkra Akwasi Awua who is the Kontomponiaferehene and a chartered accountant.
