Konadu Yiadom reveals why he chose Hearts of Oak over Asante Kotoko

Ghanaian defender Konadu Yiadom has disclosed why he chose Hearts of Oak over other clubs.

The former WAFA captain was unveiled on Tuesday as a new Hearts of Oak player, signing a three-year deal.

Asante Kotoko, Hearts of Oak’s main rival, were also interested in the enterprising defender.

But the Phobians moved faster to capture his signature and have registered him for their CAF Confederations Cup campaign.

Explaining why he joined Hearts of Oak, Yiadom said, “I chose the best team in our league because I have to achieve my career ambitions. This is where the aim will be most fulfilled. It’s a dream come true, “Yiadom said.

Yiadom is a member of the Black Galaxies squad and helped them qualify for the African Nations Championship by beating Nigeria last weekend.

The 22-year-old had a fantastic last season with the Academy Boys, appearing in almost every match and scoring one goal.

Report: Asante Kotoko set to announce Vodadone as new headline sponsor

0

Africa’s leading mobile telecommunications giants Vodafone are said to have reached a deal to sponsor Asante Kotoko SC.

We understand the giant telecommunication company will offer the most decorated Ghanaian football club a whooping amount every month, an increased figure per the amount MTN paid Kotoko every month.

It is reported that management of the Porcupines led by Nana Yaw Amponsah have concluded talks with officials of Vodafone Ghana for a lucrative sponsorship deal.

The management of Asante Kotoko could not continue their marriage with MTN after the former failed to renegotiate their sponsorship deal with the Reds.

MTN’s sponsorship agreement with Kotoko dates back to January 2011 when a deal was signed for an annual amount of GH¢1,050,000.

The company’s relationship and support to Asante Kotoko date back to the period of Spacefon, Areeba to MTN.

Kotoko in past years have had a professional relationship with telecommunication companies through sponsorships. Such Company includes Tigo Ghana and Onetouch which is now Vodafone.

The Porcupines according to several reports will announce Vodafone as their new headline sponsors after their CAF Champions League preliminary round game against RC Kadiogo.

Caf CL: RC Kadiogo vs Kotoko to be played in Benin

0

Asante Kotoko will open their CAF Champions League campaign on Friday when they take on Rail Club du Kadiogo in a preliminary round first leg encounter.

The match was initially shifted to Yamoussoukro because Kadiogo’s home venue – Stade de Kadiogo in Ouagadougou – failed to meet CAF’s requirements.

However, the Ivorian FA few days ago told Kadiogo that they are doing maintenance at the stadium, therefore, they are unable to give them the new 20,000-capacity Stade de Yamoussoukro.

Latest reports indicate that, the game will now be shifted to the General Mathieu Kérékou Friendship Stadium in Cotonou, Benin on Friday.

The Porcupines are making a return to the continental stage after missing out on last season’s competition will leave the shores of Ghana this evening for the clash on Friday.

Kotoko seem to have a tough task against old foes, Rail Club du Kadiogo, even on neutral grounds ahead of the return leg at the Baba Yara Stadium a week later.

However, Kotoko’s advantage would be the presence of their new head coach, Seydou Zerbo, who is a Burkinabe.

Coach Zerbo is expected to capitalise on the knowledge he has of RC Kadiogo to give Kotoko a headstart. But that might not be an easy task since he needs more time to fit into the shoes of Prosper Narteh Ogum, who vacated his post after winning the Ghana Premier League title.

On the other hand, RC Kadiogo will be making their second appearance in the CAF Champions League after reaching the second round in 2006.

The Burkinabe Premier League champions are desperate to make a mark in Africa after a long absence in the competition and will, therefore, throw everything into this tie.

The winner of the RC Kadiogo versus Kotoko clash will face the winner of the tie between Botswana’s Gaborone United and AS Vita Club of Congo in the second round.

Chelsea have sacked manager Thomas Tuchel following Tuesday’s night’s Champions League defeat at Dinamo Zagreb.

The 49-year-old former Borussia Dortmund and Paris St-Germain boss leaves Stamford Bridge after 20 months.

Owner Todd Boehly has placed Tuchel’s coaching staff in temporary charge until a replacement is found.

A club statement said the owners believe it is “the right time” to bring in a new head coach.

“As the new ownership group reaches 100 days since taking over the Club, and as it continues its hard work to take the club forward, the new owners believe it is the right time to make this transition,” the statement read.

“On behalf of everyone at Chelsea FC, the club would like to place on record its gratitude to Thomas and his staff for all their efforts during their time with the club. Thomas will rightly have a place in Chelsea’s history after winning the Champions League, the Super Cup and Club World Cup in his time here.”

Tuchel was appointed on 26 January, 2021, replacing Frank Lampard, and guided the club to their second Champions League title just four months later.

He went on to add the Uefa Super Cup and Fifa Club World Cup later that year.
