Pollack threatens to drag Kotoko to court

Former Asante Coach Steve Pollack has threatened to drag Kotoko to court to seek compensation due to him.

Pollack who took charge of the Porcupine Warriors between 2017-2018 won the MTN FA Cup in 2017 while at the helm of affairs.

The former Berekum Chelsea and King Faisal Boss is aggrieved with Kotoko for failing to pay any compensation due to him following a gory accident that occurred in 2017 while the team was returning from an away Ghana Premier League match at Inter-Allies.

The accident claimed the life of deputy equipment officer Thomas Obeng Asare while many others, including players, team officials, and journalists, sustained various degrees of injuries.

Four years on, Pollack says the accident adversely affected his health both physically and mentally but is yet to receive any compensation from Kotoko.

“This will be the first time taking legal action against my employer and sometimes in life you have to do and I felt something has to be done,” the former Berekim Chelsea gaffer told Asempa FM.

“[The accident affected me], physically, my right knee can’t bend no more like my left knee also having a problem with my neck and back.

“I feel more pains during winter than summer since the accident, I haven’t done any running and am a sports person, I find it difficult to run because of my knee.

“Mentally, sometimes I will wake up and my bed will be wet with sweat because I have been dreaming about the accident and what happened and I don’t know why I’ve not been compensated,” he added.
