Dr. Kwame Baah-Nuakoh, former Kotoko management member, believes there’s nothing wrong with appointing Abdul Karim Zito as head coach of Kotoko.
Zito, who took over as interim coach, has made a significant impact, guiding Kotoko to the MTN FA Cup final and keeping them in the title race has impressed the former management member.
“The issue isn’t just what management wants, but what Zito wants to do,” Dr. Baah-Nuakoh said on Akoma FM.
“Has anyone asked him (Zito) if he wants the position on a permanent basis? If so, he is demonstrating that he is capable of leading the team.”
He added, “Nothing stops them (Kotoko) from appointing him, but as I previously stated, it is up to the coach and the management. The management team might desire him, but Zito might have other intentions, so we’ll see what happens.”
Dr. Baah-Nuakoh believes Kotoko and Zito should come to an agreement if he’s willing to coach. “It is up to the two sides to strike something, if Zito is not tied up with another plan and wants to coach Kotoko, nothing prevents them from appointing him.”
With Kotoko’s league title hopes still alive, Zito’s potential appointment could be a boost for the team as they face Gold Stars FC on Sunday in a must-win game.
