Communications Director of Asante Kotoko, Sarfo Duku, has revealed that the club is eager to appoint an expatriate as the new head coach for the upcoming football season.
This follows the club’s decision to part ways with head coach Prosper Narteh Ogum after a series of disappointing performances.
In the meantime, Kotoko has appointed former player Abdul Karim Zito as the caretaker manager for the remainder of the current campaign.
Zito, who has previously managed Dreams FC and Ghana’s U-20 national team, the Black Satellites, will also take on the role of Technical Director.
He will be assisted by Prince Yaw Owusu, a former head coach of Medeama SC and Inter Allies, who will provide support on the bench.
With just six matches left in the 2024/25 Ghana Premier League season, Kotoko is already focused on next season.
During an interview with Kessben TV, Sarfo Duku confirmed that the club will open applications for the head coach position once the season concludes.
“At the end of the season, we will officially open applications for the role of head coach,” he said.
“This time, management is keen on bringing in a foreign coach who can bring a new perspective, discipline, and fresh tactical direction to the team,” he added.
Currently, Asante Kotoko is enduring a tough run, having gone four matches without a victory. The team will look to get back on track this Sunday when they face Aduana FC at the Baba Yara Stadium in their Matchday 29 clash. Kick-off is set for 15:00 GMT.
