Asante Kotoko CEO Nana Yaw Amponsah has leaped to the defense of coach Seydou Zerbo following the club’s inconsistent performances in the Ghana Premier League this season.
The defending champions are currently third on the standings with 27 points having won two, lost two and drawn one in their last five matches.
There has been growing unrest among the club’s fan base in recent weeks with some section calling for the Burkinabe trainer’s head.
“Many times we do not consider other factors before criticizing. We have failed to consistently produce the same team hence playing a lot of players mid shift leaving the coach to always improvise”, Nana Yaw Amponsah told Oyerepa FM in an interview.
“Anytime we have a good result with the hope of keeping the consistency, we record injuries or suspensions”.
He added: “Sometimes I pity the coaches, we need to improve as a team but I pity the coaches because sometimes getting a 20-man squad is a problem.”
