"The Police are on a manhunt for two persons who attacked the coach of Nsoatreman FC, Mr. Maxwell Konadu, during a football game, yesterday, 19th November 2023, at the Sunyani Coronation Park.

The Police also indicated that the coach suffered a head injury due to the assault and also wished the former Black Stars manager well.

"The coach who sustained a head injury during the attack is currently receiving medical attention. We wish to assure the public that we will surely get the suspects arrested to face justice."

Maxwell Konadu was a victim of mob action by disappointed Bofoakwa Tano fans who could not take their team's draw against Nsoatreman lightly.

They invaded the pitch after full-time and manhandled the former Black Stars coach.

Other reports indicate that the manager was hit with objects in the process.

Maxwell Konadu went unconscious as a result and was rushed to the hospital to receive treatment. He has now regained conciousness.
