Asante Kotoko reach agreement with Medeama for Boadu ‘Agadas’ & Appiah

The duo are now on their way to join the Porcupine Warriors for the 2021/22 season

Asante Kotoko have reached an agreement with Medeama for the transfer of midfielder Richard Boadu ‘Agadas’ and defender Samuel Appiah, the two clubs have confirmed.

Although the duo were initially linked with a move to Serbian giants Partizan Belgrade and even had trial with them, the deal fell through at the eleventh hour.

As a result, Medeama were forced to make business with Kotoko as new coach Prosper Ogum Narteh is in the market to look for quality players to argument his squad.

AshesGyamera’s sources have revealed that the duo signed a three-year deal each.

“We have reached an agreement with Asante Kotoko SC  for the permanent transfer of midfielder Richard Boadu and defender Samuel Appiah,” a Medeama statement read.

“We thank the two players for their outstanding contributions to the club,” the statement added.

Boadu made 24 appearances in Ghana Premier League for Meadeama last season and scored one goal and it was against Asante Kotoko at the Len Clay Stadium in Obuasi.

Appiah, on the other hand, made 22 league appearances and could not score a goal.

With Augustine Okrah, Felix Annan and Wahab Adams leaving Kotoko, Boadu and Appiah join Richmond Nii Lamptey, Maxwell Agyemang, Clinton Opoku and Stephen Boateng as the new signees.

Official: Milovan Rajevac confirmed as new Ghana coach; check his targets

The Serbian has been finally unveiled as the Black Stars head coach following a press briefing held on Friday in Accra

Ghana Football Association has officially named Milovan Rajevac as the new head coach of the Black Stars after the much-anticipated press briefing held on Friday in Accra.

The Serbian, who left the country a little over a decade ago, signed a two-year deal to replace Charles Kwablah Akonnor who was sacked a fortnight ago following a poor run of results.

Meanwhile, Legon Cities coach Maxwell Konadu has been named as an assistant coach to Milovan as he is expected to help him with his indepth knowledge about the local game.

Although, initial reports suggested that Otoo Addo was being considered for the vacant position, the Borussia Dortmund assistant coach opted not to accept the opportunity.

Milovan, who is making a return to Ghana after guiding the Black Stars to reach the quarterfinals of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, will play his first game against Zimbabwe in the 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifiers next month before he wrap up the qualifiers in November against South Africa.

The former Algeria coach is expected to earn $30,000 per a month and $300,000 as winning bonus should he guides Ghana to win the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.

His first target is to qualify Ghana to to the World Cup as well as win the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations to be staged in Cameroon next year.

Milovan spotted with Maxwell Konadu at GFA office ahead of imminent appointment

The Serbian has been seen at football association’s headquarters on Friday ahead of the press briefing

Former Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac has been spotted at the Ghana Football Association headquarters ahead of the much-anticipated press briefing.

The Serbian is expected to be confirmed as the new coach of Black Stars after Charles Kwablah Akonnor was sacked a fortnight ago following a poor run of results.

Legon Cities coach Maxwell Konadu was also seen at the premises and it wouldn’t be a surprise if he is named as an assistant coach to Milovan together with Otto Addo who currently works for German Bundasliga side Borrusia Dortmund.

Milovan is also expected to sign a one-year deal with an option to renew depending on his performance which will run from September 2021 to September 2022.

This means that Milovan will pocket $5,000 more than the salary that was paid to Akonnor since the former coach was taking home $25,000 after sealing his deal in December 2020.

According to a report filed by Joy Sports, if Milovan is able to guide the Black Stars to win any game, he will take twice the amount each player will receive which means that he will be paid $10,000 as winning bonuses.


Again, should he help the Black Stars to annex the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations to be staged in Cameroon, he will be paid $300,000 as bonus.

Although, Milovan is yet to be unveiled as the new Ghana coach, reports suggest that he was made aware of the players that will be called up for 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifiers against Zimbabwe on October 5 at the Cape Coast Sports before the return fixture takes place four days later in Harare.

With Milovan making a return to Ghana after guiding the Black Stars to reach the quarterfinals of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, a lot of people have shared divergent opinions.

Former Ghana defender John Paintsil who worked under Milovan believes the Serbian may fail in his second coming since the atmosphere surrounding his initial stay differ from what is currently happening.

He is expected to play his first game against Zimbabwe in the double header before he wrap up the World Cup qualifiers in November against South Africa.

The young man, who started as mere supporter of the ‘Yenko Nkoaa lads’, has risen through the ranks to become a top official of the club

New Edubiase United have appointed Emmanuel Akwasi Boahen ‘Stargo’ as the deputy chief executive officer and director of operations ahead of the start of 2021/22 season, AshesGyamera.com can confirm.

Boahen, who joined Edubiase as a supporter, before he became the public relations officer of the supporters union in 2008, has risen through the ranks over the years to now hold one of the topmost positions due to hard work and dedication.

In the 2010, Boahen was named as the director of communications of the club and was later appointed a member of the financial committee in 2012.

Although, his efforts together with other members in 2019 nearly saw New Edubiase securing a ticket back to the top-flight, the division one league was truncated because of Anas exposé.

Following his appointment, Boahen promised to work extra harder to help the club realise its targets in the upcoming season after they missed out qualification back to Ghana Premier League during last campaign.

“I’m excited for the opportunity given me to serve this great club. I’ve been with the club for several years and served in many capacities but I believe this appointment is an awesome one,” Boahen said, as quoted by AshesGyamera.com.

“It is my ambition to join hands with other officials, coaches, players, supporters and other stakeholders so we can achieve our aims in the new season. Everything is possible in this life,” he added.

Edubiase will be playing in Zone Two of Ghana’s Division One League with the likes of Samatex, Skyy FC, Ebusua Dwarfs, Asokwa Deportivo and BYFC.

Prosper Narteh explains why Asante Kotoko will win Ghana Premier League & other titles

The Porcupine Warriors be boss insists he has quality players to he help him challenge for the league trophy next season

Asante Kotoko head coach Prosper Ogum Narteh believes the club has quality players to win the 2021/22 Ghana Premier League season.

The 44-year-old signed a two-year deal with the club last week to replace Mariano Baretto whose contract was mutually terminated.

Although, Baretto slammed the lackadaisical approach some of the players exhibited during last season and his assistant coach Johnson Smith added that only four players deserved to play for the club, the new coach has other ideas.

He insists there is a lot of quality among the squad and they should be able to win trophies if only they blend into a quality team.

“I think we have the quality to let us play and win trophies this season. I believe that talent will always win you games, teamwork will let you win championships,” Narteh told the media at training ground.

“I believe that the quality we have now, if I’m able to blend them into a good team that knows its structure, that knows how to move with and without the ball, tactical awareness, what they have to do with and without the ball and giving them information about the opponent – how the play on offence and defense, I think once these things are done at training, with the quality we have in the team, we should be good to go,” he added.

Following the departure of the club’s captain Felix Annan, midfielder Augustine Okrah and defender Wahab Adams, Kotoko have also signed Inter Allies prodigy Richmond Lamptey, Clinton Opoku from Phar Rangers and defender Maxwell Agyemang from Wamanafo Mighty Royals to bolster the squad.

They finished second last season behind fierce rivals Hearts of Oak and only reached the quarterfinals of the FA Cup
and are hoping for an improvement.

Narteh also guided his former club WAFA to finish third, behind Kotoko and he is expected to work magic around for the Porcupine Warriors this season.

Tug of War – GFA vs Sports minister: Sports ministry denies approving Milovan Rajevac as Black Stars coach

The Serbian was set to be unveiled as the new Black Stars coach but the Sports ministry is not ready to confirm his second coming

The Ministry of Youth and Sports has vehemently rejected claims that they have agreed to appoint Serbian coach Milovan Rajevac as the new Ghana senior national team coach.

Talking to Angel FM on Thursday, deputy Youth and Sports minister, Evans Bobie, insisted that they have not met Milovan despite reports suggesting that he is in the country.

He also added that the ministry has not received any official letter from Ghana Football Association introducing the Serbian to them as a suitor to the vacant job.

“We haven’t approved Milovan Rajevac as the new Black Stars coach,” Bobie said.

“We are even yet to receive the GFA committee’s report.

“Per our checks as a ministry, we have not seen Milovan. We have not even received any reports from the FA regarding the appointment of a new coach not to talk about Milovan.”

“He is not the coach of Ghana as I’m speaking to you today so the reports are untrue,” he added.

Earlier reports in the local media suggested that Milovan was going to earn between $30,000 and $45,000 salary per each month and a whopping $100,000 as signing on fee. He was also believed to be paid $300,000 if he guides Ghana to win 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.

Milovan was the coach that led Ghana to the quarterfinals of the 2010 Fifa World Cup staged in South Africa.

He was later adjudged the Best coach of the year in Africa that year.
