Peace
has finally reigned as Maxwell Konadu and his former club Asante Kotoko have
found common grounds.
Maxwell
Konadu and Asante Kotoko have in recent days been involved in a “mini war” over
his severance package.
The
embattled manager last week dragged the club before the Player and Coaches
Status committee for what he termed unlawful dismissal.
Maxwell
Konadu demanded $60,000 compensation for the unilateral termination of his
contract, a signing on fee of GHS 30,000, GHS 2,000 for winning bonuses and
$36,000 for the remainder of his contract with the club.
Kotoko
who were unhappy with the move also wrote to Maxwell Konadu asking him to pay
an amount of $22,800($300) to the club for keeping the club’s vehicle (Toyota
Fortuner) since his dismissal.
However,
the National Circles Council led by its Chairman Christopher Damenya held a
meeting with Maxwell Konadu on Wednesday.
At the
end of the meeting, the two parties found common grounds. Maxwell Konadu agreed
to hand over the Toyota Fortuner.
He as
well agreed to withdraw the complaint lodged against the club at the Player and
Coaches Status committee among others.
Below is the resolution reached:
1.
Maxwell Konadu has returned the Toyota Fortuner which was his official vehicle
to Asante Kotoko
2. The
NCC led by its Chairman Christopher Damanya and Nana Kwame Dankwa have taken
possession of the vehicle and handed same to the CEO of the club.
3.
Maxwell Konadu has instructed his lawyers to write to the Player Status
Committee to withdraw the case he lodged against Kotoko.
4. Nana
Yaw Amponsah the CEO of Kotoko has agreed to pay Maxwell Konadu his outstanding
entitlements as soon as possible.
5. The
NCC has assured Maxwell Konadu that they will pay the difference between what
he is claiming from the club and what he will actually be paid by Kotoko.
6. The
NCC has promised the management that they will also be ready to pay the amount
accrued as “loss of use” of the official vehicles should management continue to
pursue that case.
