The management of Asante Kotoko have parted ways with head coach Maxwell Konadu with immediate effect.
The club announced the decision on Friday morning.
Asante Kotoko suffered a humiliating 1-0 defeat to Accra Great Olympics on Thursday night at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Supporters of the club called for the sack of Maxwell Konadu following the defeat.
The former Black Stars assistant coach has come under intense pressure following the club’s poor start of the 2020/21 Ghana Premier League campaign.
The Porcupine Warriors have recorded just a win after four matches played in the ongoing Ghana Premier Lague.
Kotoko have won one, losing one and drawing two in four outings.
A club statement reads, “Management of Asante Kotoko Sporting Club wishes to inform the general public that it has decided to part ways with Coach Maxwell Konadu as its Head Coach with immediate effect.
“Coach Johnson Smith has been appointed to lead the team in the interim.”
Kotoko will play Dreams FC at the Theatre of Dreams in Dawu on Sunday before hosting Al Hilal at the Accra Sports Stadium in their Caf Champions League preliminary round games.
The Porcupine Warriors are currently sitting on the 11th position with 5 points.
