He opined that visits to Manhyia Palace should be reserved for celebratory occasions, recalling his own experience as a coach when he only visited the palace after winning the league.<\/p>\n<p>Razak clarified his stance, stating, \u201cI didn\u2019t say going there [Manhyia] is good or bad but when I was appointed I never went to Manhyia until I took the trophy there, and up till today, I haven\u2019t been there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since the meeting, Kotoko have shown improved performance, going three games without a defeat, securing two wins and revitalizing their prospects for a top-four finish.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey went to Manhyia and I have won, drawn and won again. They should continue. When a coach asks you to do something, do it. All coaches are different but we are the same in discipline. No footballer is better than the coach,\u201d Razak emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>Kotoko\u2019s upcoming fixture is an away game against Berekum Chelsea.<\/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.
