Ghanaian representative of Brazilian coach Ricardso Da Rocha, Leslie Kuuku Bartels  has confirmed interest from Asante Kotoko for the former Dwarfs coach.

The Asante Kotoko coaching job became vacant on Thursday, after Samuel Paa Kwasi Fabin quit his position seven months after he was hired by the Ghana Premier League giants.

“I represent Da Rocha. I was the one that brought him to Dwarfs. George Amoako the Kotoko CEO cannot deny he hasn’t contacted the agents of Da Rocha. He, Amoako, has spoken to the coach and if you have a current coach and you still engage talks with another then it means you don’t want your current coach ” Bartels said on Kessben FM.

“A meeting was held on Wednesday September 12 between Kotoko and the team representing Da Rocha of which I am part” Bartels revealed.

“I therefore informed Paa Kwesi of the interest of Kotoko in my client Da Rocha. I went on to show him proofs of communication that has taken place between George Amoako and my team.” Bartels told Kessben FM.

Da Rocha could return into the Ghanaian scene after his wonderful era with the Mysterious Club, guiding them to 4th position on the table.

The Brazilian tactician was the head coach of the national team of Cape Verde in 2007 and has also coached Hager Club of Saudi Arabia.
