It will be difficult for Felix Annan to reclaim his number one spot- Goalkeeper's coach

Asante Kotoko's deputy goalkeeping coach, Sampson Appiah has said he does not see Felix Annan reclaiming his position as the first-choice goalkeeper of the club.

Annan, 25, lost his position to Kwame Baah after taking time off to tie the knot with his girlfriend after match week four of the truncated 2019/2020 Ghana Premier League campaign.

However, Baah’s startling performance in Felix’s absence saw him keep the post in ten league games and helped the Porcupines to 5 wins, 1 defeat and 4 draws by far.

Despite Kwame Baah's impressive performance, Maxwell Konadu has been questioned for his consistent decision to bench the former WAFA goalkeeper.

But Sampson Appiah in an interview with Kweku Osei TV on YouTube questioned why they should have dropped Baah for Felix Annan with the performance he exhibited.

“Felix used to be our first choice goalie before his wedding ceremony but Kwame Baah grabbed the opportunity and did very well without conceding most in matches so how can you drop him?.

“The supporters would have killed us if Annan underperforms when given the nod. There’s no personal hatred for him but following the rules of the game. Hard work will be the secret of him regaining his position devoid of any envies.” he concluded.
