Asante Kotoko’s management has admitted dissatisfaction with the club’s recent performance in the Ghana Premier League but has affirmed its support for coach Prosper Ogum.
Dismissing rumours of Ogum’s imminent dismissal, the management insists that he will continue in his role.
Following a string of disappointing results, including five defeats in six games and a four-match losing streak, calls for Ogum’s removal have surfaced.
However, the Interim Management Committee (IMC), of which Ogum is a member, has issued a statement endorsing the former WAFA coach to remain in his position.
“Head coach Prosper Narteh Ogum remains at post, contrary to speculations about his imminent dismissal,” the statement reads.
“The IMC acknowledges the concerns raised by our cherished supporters regarding our current situation. It must be placed on record that management is equally not enthused with our results and deem it unacceptable. However, the IMC is committed to ensuring that there is a quick turnaround in our current fortunes.”
“In our quest to achieve this, various steps have been taken, including an emergency meeting with the coaching staff and not the dismissal of the head coach.”
“We, therefore, urge our fans and all stakeholders to remain calm and continue to support our club in these turbulent times.”
“We also thank you for all the concerns raised as well as your contributions, for which the IMC will give it the needed consideration. In the meantime, we all must unite and have absolute trust in our coaches to reclaim the stride with which we ended the first round.”
Kotoko will aim to break their poor run this weekend as they travel to face Bechem United.
