Bribery scandal hits Asante Kotoko coach Kjetil Zachariassen

Asante Kotoko SC head coach Kjetil Zachariassen has reportedly been involved in a monetary scandal.

The Norwegian gaffer is believed to have taken kickbacks from players the club signed.

According to a source before Zachariassen recommended the signing of Musadiru Salifu, he had agreement with the player that should the deal go through he will take a share of GhC2000 as appreciation.

Salifu is a former Berekum Chelsea player who joined the Porcupine Warriors in July, 2019 upon the recommendation and approval by the Norwegian tactician.

Salifu fulfilling his part of the agreement made a mistake and paid more than the actual amount of GH¢2000 to the trainer.
He has since been demanding the remainder but the coach has been reluctant to pay.
