The representative of Asante Kotoko Empem Dacosta’s ‘liberated’ defender, Kwaku Blessing God, has revealed that coach Maxwell Konadu made it clear to his client that his services are already needed at the club.

The budding guard joined Asante Kotoko from Ghana’s Premier League team Karela United FC in 2019.

Dacosta moved to the Baba Yara Stadium on a three-year contract, but is ready to cut short his stay at the club after coach Konadu allegedly told him to find a new club.

In an interview with Ash FM from Kumasi, the 23-year-old’s representative commented that his client has unfinished business with the Porcupine Warriors, but the coach told them that it is not in his future plans.

“Coach Maxwell Konadu told my client Empem Dacosta that he wants to release him, so Kotoko found him a team,” said Kwaku Blessing God.

“The coach told me point-blank that Empem Dacosta is not part of his plans and did not give me reasonable reasons.”

“Empem was very influential in the Africa campaign when coach Kjiti Zacheriasen was the one who played every game.”

“The things Dacosta wanted to do for Kotoko did not complete its mission because my client signed for the Reds for three years and has only played one year.”

“We believe that Dacosta will return to Kotoko if he is a coach in the future.”

“I can’t exactly say that there is a problem between Empem and coach Maxwell Konadu.”

“We are not happy to leave Kotoko, but Maxwell Konadu said he does not want his service, we cannot do anything about it, but we believe that Ampem will return to Kotoko one day,” he concluded.

He made 19 appearances in the Ghana Premier League while playing in the CAF Champions League and CAF Confederation Cup for Kotoko.
