Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>In a bid to address the challenges facing Kumasi Asante Kotoko, Team Owner and Life Patron of the club, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has thrown his support behind under-fire coach Prosper Ogum.<\/b><\/p>\n

Following an emergency meeting convened by the King to resolve internal issues within the club, Ogum has been retained as head coach.<\/p>\n

The meeting, held on Thursday, April 18, 2024, at the Manhyia Palace, brought together key stakeholders of the club to discuss the recent poor run of results and chart a path forward.<\/p>\n

Otumfuo charged both the technical team led by Coach Ogum and the playing body to resolve their issues and work towards team unity and harmony.<\/p>\n

Expressing his directives, Otumfuo emphasised the importance of resolving all outstanding issues to improve team performance. Prosper Ogum has been tasked with addressing any grievances within the team to foster a cohesive environment conducive to success.<\/p>\n

Despite Asante Kotoko\u2019s dismal form, with only one win and a draw in their last ten games, Otumfuo remains hopeful that with unity and determination, the club can overcome its challenges.<\/p>\n

He has pledged his personal intervention if the team\u2019s poor run continues, underscoring his commitment to the club\u2019s success.<\/p>\n

The next hurdle for Asante Kotoko is a crucial fixture against league leaders FC Samartex.<\/p>\n
