Public Relations Officer of Bechem United Football Club, Emmanuel Gyasi Atuahene, says the club’s top hierarchy tried very hard to get Kassim Mingle Ocansey to rescind his decision to leave the club.
Mingle left his head coaching role at Bechem United to join Nations FC following the Kumasi based team’s promotion to the BetPawa Ghana Premier League for the upcoming 2023-2024 season.
Bechem United finished third in the 2022-2023 league season but the fine campaign wasn’t enough to convince him to continue his stay with the Hunters despite Bechem’s efforts to keep him.
“When the just ended season came to an end, he had a meeting with the top hierarchy of the club and he made it clear his intentions of moving on. We had wanted to keep so that he will be able to help the club to reach its set target.
Unfortunately, we couldn’t conclude to make things suitable on our paths and we had to agree and let him move on. We urged him to try as much as possible to rescind his decision but it couldn’t work that way and we also had to respect his decision.”
