Former Asante Kotoko Managing Director Benjamin Nti has advised the club to invest heavily in recruiting players in order to compete for the African Club trophy.
For a great club like Kumasi Asante Kotoko, Nti, who works with the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), is of the opinion that in order for them to succeed once again in Africa Club competitions, they need to spend consistently with a plan to achieve the glory. .
In an interview with Nhyira Power Sports on Saturday, the former senior member of Porcupines management who recently distanced himself from the role of the club’s chief executive advised what can propel them to the higher rungs of the African soccer ladder.
“To be successful in Africa you need to plan. It requires a lot of capital injection. It took TP Mazembe more than ten years to win the cup steadily as a lot of capital injection went to the players (recruitment), ”Ben Nti told Nhyira FM.
The Kumasi-based team, the most successful club in Premier League history, also won the CAF Champions League twice, the last one dating back to 1983. Responding to how the Reds can once again dominate Africa, Ben Nti wants quality foreign players. to be recruited to increase the team.
“You cannot just rely on Ghanaian players to win an African title. It’s not possible. Even in Egypt they recruit from outside and Egypt is way ahead of us when it comes to football. Tell me, any African country that has its club winning the African cup with only national players? ”He affirmed.
Kotoko will represent Ghana for the second consecutive season in the premier continental interclub challenge, confirming his readiness last month for the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Executive Council for the 2020/2021 season.
