Kotoko CEO position bigger than GFA Presidency – Nana Yaw Amponsah

Before assuming his current position, though, Amponsah contested for the GFA presidency in October 2019, which he lost to eventual winner Kurt Okraku.'

Speaking at his unveiling, Amponsah dismissed claims that he was using the Kotoko CEO job to improve his chances of becoming GFA President in the future

According to him, his current position at the 23-time Ghana Premier League champions is bigger than that of the FA Presidency.

“I say Asante Kotoko; no disrespect to the Ghana Football Association presidential position that I aspired to occupy, Kotoko for me is the biggest of the two positions,” Amponsah stated.

“I have dealt with many federations, I have dealt with many clubs. If I ask who the President of the English FA is, you may not be able to tell me, but you will able to tell me who the Executive Chairman of Manchester United is.

“So, I do not take this responsibility lightly at all,” he added.
