Sacked Asante Kotoko coach Steve Pollack has been paid a severance package of US$ 16,000.

The amount represented eight months of his accumulated salary for the remaining months on his one-year contract.

Pollack was dismissed last Friday following the team's elimination from the CAF Confederation Cup after a penalty shootout defeat to CARA Brazzaville.

The Englishman signed a one-year deal after guiding the club to win the 2017 MTN FA Cup with a 3-1 win over rivals Hearts of Oak.

Kotoko have since appointed Paa Kwesi Fabin.
