Dreams FC head coach Abdul Karim Zito has touched down safely in Kumasi to takeover the vacant Asante Kotoko coaching role following the jettisoning of Prosper Narteh Ogum
The Educationist has been sacked by the Porcupine Warriors in what is mainly described as poor performance and a final decision was arrived earlier today after a crunchy meeting held by the club's interim management committee
With this, Karim Zito is retuning to Asante Kotoko where he's already served as a player and was part of the club's CAF Champions League winning team in 1983 and as a coach as well, and is expected to replace Ogum, per wide range of reliable reports.
Prosper Narteh Ogum, who guided the Porcupine Warriors to the 2021/22 Ghana Premier League title, leaves behind a mixed legacy. His first stint brought an end to Kotoko’s long title drought and was hailed as a major achievement.
However, recent performances have cast a shadow over his return, with the team failing to maintain consistency in the ongoing campaign.
A poor run of results, including back-to-back defeats against Accra Lions and Nations FC, intensified speculation around Ogum’s future.
In 28 league matches this season under Ogum, Kotoko recorded 13 wins, 8 draws, and 7 defeats, scoring 28 goals and conceding 21, with an average of 1.68 points per game.
The club expressed its appreciation to Coach Ogum for his commitment and service, and extended its best wishes for his future endeavors.
