Agyemang Badu urges Asante Kotoko to scrap club house system over player misconduct concerns

Former Black Stars midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang Badu has advised Asante Kotoko to discontinue housing players in a single facility, amid growing concerns over off-field misconduct at the club’s residence.

The suggestion comes in the wake of recent allegations by ex-Kotoko captain Justice Blay, who claimed some players engaged in inappropriate behaviour while in camp, including alcoholism, shisha use, and romantic misconduct.

According to Blay, these incidents occurred within the club’s residential compound, where players live communally.

Speaking to Luv FM, Agyemang Badu urged the club to consider a more independent housing arrangement for players.

“I've been a professional footballer before. If it's not camping, grouping players in a place like this—and a huge club like Asante Kotoko—if financially the team is very strong, they should disperse them and let them get their own houses so that there can be peace,” he said.

He warned that failure to act could lead to recurring disciplinary problems in the future, adding, “Maybe next year, maybe in the years to come, you might be having a lot of chaotic scenes like this.”
