In the wake of mounting concerns and performance challenges plaguing Asante Kotoko SC, head coach Prosper Narteh Ogum has received a vote of confidence to continue his leadership role. The pivotal decision came following an emergency meeting convened by the esteemed life patron of the club, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, at his residence in Manhyia on Thursday, April 18.
Bringing together players, the technical team, and the Interim Management Committee (IMC), the gathering sought to address the pressing issues confronting the club amidst a turbulent period. As Asante Kotoko grapples with a series of setbacks, including a solitary victory in their last seven matches, their current 11th place standing on the league table underscores the urgency of the situation.
Tensions reached a crescendo when a faction of supporters disrupted a training session, clamoring for the resignation of Coach Prosper Ogum and his technical staff. In response, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II intervened decisively, orchestrating the emergency assembly to chart a path forward for the revered football institution.
Following deliberations, it was agreed that Coach Ogum and the IMC would be entrusted with the task of addressing the club’s challenges and steering it back to prominence. With a renewed sense of purpose, Asante Kotoko sets its sights on the upcoming Matchday 27 fixture against league leaders FC Samartex at the Baba Yara Stadium on Sunday.
As the club strives to regain its winning form and reclaim its standing in the Ghana Premier League, the decisions made during this pivotal juncture are poised to shape the trajectory of Asante Kotoko’s journey in the days to come.
