Dr. Prosper Ogum Steps Down as Asante Kotoko Head Coach After Poor Run of Results

Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum has stepped down as head coach of Asante Kotoko following a string of disappointing results in the Ghana Premier League, sources close to the club have confirmed. An official announcement is expected soon.

Ogum, who led the Porcupine Warriors to a historic Ghana Premier League title in the 2021/22 season, has faced increasing pressure in recent weeks due to the team's inconsistent performances. Despite a promising start to the current campaign, Kotoko's form has dipped significantly, including back-to-back defeats to Accra Lions and Nations FC.

Kotoko currently sit fourth on the league table, having recorded 13 wins, 8 draws, and 7 losses. The team has scored 28 goals and conceded 21, averaging 1.68 points per game this season.

In a recent interview, Ogum acknowledged the team's struggles and expressed a strong desire to steer them back on track. However, after internal discussions, it appears the club and the coach have mutually agreed to part ways.

The departure of Dr. Ogum comes at a crucial point in the season, with only a few matches remaining. The club is now expected to begin the process of appointing a new head coach to guide the team through the remainder of the campaign and plan for the future.

Asante Kotoko’s management is set to release an official statement soon detailing Ogum’s exit and outlining the next steps in their coaching search.
