Aduana, W.O Tandoh apologise to Kotoko and Maxwell Konadu

Aduana Stars FC and their Assistant coach of Aduana Stars, W. O Tandoh have apologized to Kumasi Asante Kotoko and their coach, Maxwell Konadu after calling him a village coach indirectly by saying he played a “village football” during an interview on Accra based, Angel FM two days ago.

The game between Aduana and Kotoko was this week’s high profile match in the Ghanaian Premier League but it made the headlines after the two clubs played the first 45 minutes with 10 players.

Tandoh in the interview criticized not only the tactics of the club but was also not happy with the route Kotoko used before reaching the stadium as they were late.

He denied playing the entire first half of the game with 10-men but rather said Kotoko did that.

He also got angry at the host of the program, Saddick Adams and disconnected the call during the interview.

Tandoh in an interview on Ashh FM rendered an unqualified apology to Maxwell Konadu, Kotoko and his club, Aduana Stars.

“I am sorry for the comments I made against my friend and a senior colleague Maxwell Konadu. It’s very unfortunate and I will like to use your medium to apologise to Asante Kotoko family, Coach Maxwell Konadu and all football-loving fans that am sorry.

I have personally spoken to some senior coaches, Abdul Karim Zito, Abubakar Damba and Oti Akenteng to apologise to Maxwell Konadu for me even though I called him personally and was told he is at the embassy but will still call him before the day ends.

I felt very bad after listening to myself this morning and all that I can say is I am sorry.
The little advice I can give to myself and everyone else is, never make comments when you are much excited. I was carried away by the joy after the victory over Asante Kotoko.

Lastly, let me apologise to my team [Aduana Stars] for bringing such bad stories to the club and I can assure you it will not be repeated.”

The Post understands Aduana Stars has also written to Maxwell Konadu for the things their coach said about him and they would soon release a statement to the general public.
