He made this known during an interview with Akoma 87.9 FM.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs I mentioned earlier, I traveled to gain additional knowledge about the game, so right now I\u2019m continuing to educate myself in that area.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI haven\u2019t given up, but everything will depends on the opportunity and the offer, I cannot say I\u2019m bigger than Kotoko \u2013 he added.<\/p>\n<p>CK was appointed as the head coach of Asante Kotoko replacing Paa Kwesi Fabin in 2018. He signed a two-year contract with the club running through until October 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the former Black Stars coach had earlier advocated for patience on behalf of Ogum believing that, the former West African Football Academy boss has what it takes to turn things around.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI urge the fans to exercise patience,\u201d Akonnor expressed in an interview with Akoma FM. \u201cOgum has a proven track record and we have faith in him to make things right. While the coach shoulders much of the criticism, it\u2019s essential for the players to heed his instructions and elevate their performance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kotoko will be facing Samartex in their next league game at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/ghana\">Ghana<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Ghana.
