Asante Kotoko have moved to calm fan unrest, with Communications Director Sarfo Duku insisting the club will not hastily dismiss Karim Zito despite the team’s recent struggles.
The Porcupine Warriors are six points off the league lead after failing to win in the new year, including a loss to Swedru All Stars and a goalless draw against Berekum Chelsea.
“When the expectation of our supporters is not being met, obviously, the focus will be on sacking the coach making changes in the technical team, but I can assure you that you will not rush into taking any such decision, ie taking the coach or making changes in the technical team,” Duku told Luv FM.
He added that the club is carrying out a comprehensive review of the situation, consulting players, technical staff, and the medical team.
“We are engaging all the parties involved, including the players, the other technical team members, the medical team, to find out what the problems actually are before we can come to any conclusion.”
Duku stressed that the club wants stability instead of constantly changing coaches and urged fans to be patient. “I will plead with them to exercise patience. We need some consistency for once. The technical team we brought have not spend up to one year. I don’t think that in football to achieve results, you don’t have to give them enough time.”
Kotoko travel to Bibiani to face GoldStars this Saturday as they aim to get back to winning ways.
