Asante Kotoko coach Prosper Ogum finds himself at a critical juncture in his tenure as the club’s manager as the team’s struggles continue to worsen.
Following series of disappointing results, Ogum has been handed a stark ultimatum by the club’s management: he must produce results in the next three matches or face the possibility of losing his job.
The decision comes amidst Asante Kotoko’s unprecedented struggles in the Ghana Premier League, where they have suffered four consecutive defeats – first time in 14 years in the club’s illustrious history.

Sitting at the ninth position in the league table, the Porcupine Warriors are grappling with a crisis that has sparked discontent among supporters and management alike.
Sources close to the club have revealed to Akoma Sports that Ogum’s fate hinges on the outcomes of the upcoming fixtures against Bechem United, Nsoatreman FC, and Dreams FC.
- I think we need some time – Kotoko coach after four straight losses
- Kotoko suffer worst record in 14 years after loss to Nations FC
These matches present a crucial opportunity for the embattled coach to reverse the team’s fortunes and salvage his position within the club.
Despite the mounting pressure, Ogum remains determined to rise to the challenge. In a recent interview, he expressed his commitment to turning things around and emphasised the importance of unity and support from the club’s fanbase.
For Prosper Ogum, the next three matches could determine not only the fate of his coaching career at Asante Kotoko but also the trajectory of the team’s season.
This is the second coming of Coach Ogum at Kotoko after winning the Ghana Premier League for the club in the 2020/21 season.
