Richard Boadu, known as “Agadas,” the only player in the Ghana Premier League with a golden tooth, was chosen as the new captain of Kotoko, he will be assisted by Yussif Mubarik as first deputy captain, veteran goalkeeper Ibrahim Danlad as second deputy captain, veteran defender Christopher Nettey as third deputy captain, and new foreign goalkeeper Pouaty Dendoum as fourth deputy captain.
Before their Tuesday night preseason friendly encounter against Al Hilal Omdurman in Sudan, Kumasi Asante Kotoko posted this message on their official Twitter account.
The administration of Kotoko received a letter from the former captain Ismail Abdul-Ganiyu asking for his contract to be terminated, according to sources in the Ghanaian media, after some thought, he changed his mind, but management requested that he do not travel with the team to Sudan.
The management then appointed a very fascinating guy with a lot of passion and trust when the team was in Sudan without Ismail Abdul-Ganiyu.
Prior to the upcoming BetPawa Premier League, the CAF Champions League, and other competitions, Richard Boadu has been picked to serve as the team’s manager.
For the first time since switching from Medeama FC to the Porcupine Warriors, he served as team captain, after competing in a lower-level match in Accra versus Panthers FC, Kotoko participated in an international friendly.
The winners of the Ghana Premier League had no chance against Al Hilal, who scored a goal in each half under new coach Florent Ibenge. Following a corner kick by Lamine Jargo after 42 minutes, the home team went ahead, following a defensive blunder by Asante Kotoko, Khater Awad made it 2-0 just before the game’s end.
Steven Mukwala and Nicholas Mensah, the newly acquired players for Kotoko, had a few chances in front of the Al Hilal goal, but they lacked the finishing touch necessary for a consolation at the Omdurman Stadium.
Richard Boadu Agadas, the newly elected captain, responded to the loss to the Sudanese titan on his Twitter account, he wrote, “Having a mission or a vision for your life is one of the best things you can do for your mental wellness. I am very proud of you guys. We will focus on the next games. “
