CONFIRMED: Former Kotoko Player and Coach Karim Zito Abdul Takes Over Asante Kotoko

In a swift turn of events, Asante Kotoko have announced the appointment of former player and coach, Karim Zito Abdul, as the new head coach for the remainder of the season. This decision follows the club’s mutual agreement to part ways with Coach Prosper Narteh Ogum earlier today, totalsportsghana.com can confirm that. 

Karim Zito, who previously donned the red jersey as a player and had a brief coaching stint with the Porcupine Warriors, returns at a crucial time when the club is seeking to restore form and finish the season on a high note.

The club confirmed the managerial change in an official statement, expressing gratitude to Coach Ogum for his service and dedication. Ogum, who was in his second spell with the club, departs after a challenging campaign that has seen inconsistent performances and growing pressure from fans and management alike.

Zito brings a wealth of experience, having managed several clubs in the Ghana Premier League and also led Ghana’s U-20 national team to glory at the 2021 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations. His appointment is seen as a strategic move to stabilize the team and possibly lay the groundwork for future development.

Fans will be hopeful that Zito’s return can reignite the club’s fighting spirit and bring back the winning mentality that has been synonymous with the Kotoko badge.

More updates are expected in the coming days as Karim Zito begins preparations with the squad ahead of their next league fixture.
