Asante Kotoko Sporting Club has officially parted ways with Head Coach Dr Prosper Narteh Ogum, the club announced on Saturday afternoon.
The mutual decision follows a series of discussions between the two parties, with both sides agreeing that stepping aside at this juncture serves the best interest of the club.
Dr Ogum, who guided the Porcupine Warriors to the 2021/22 Ghana Premier League title, leaves behind a mixed legacy. His first stint brought an end to Kotoko’s long title drought and was hailed as a major achievement. However, recent performances have cast a shadow over his return, with the team failing to maintain consistency in the ongoing campaign.
A poor run of results, including back-to-back defeats against Accra Lions and Nations FC, intensified speculation around Ogum’s future. Although Kotoko enjoyed a promising start to the season, their momentum has waned in recent weeks, causing them to drop from the top of the table to fourth place.
In 28 league matches this season under Ogum, Kotoko recorded 13 wins, 8 draws, and 7 defeats, scoring 28 goals and conceding 21, with an average of 1.68 points per game.
The club expressed its appreciation to Coach Ogum for his commitment and service, and extended its best wishes for his future endeavors.
Kotoko also called on supporters to stay calm and united as the club enters a new phase, promising to provide updates on the technical direction in due course.
The Porcupine Warriors will next take on Aduana Stars in a crucial Ghana Premier League fixture next weekend.
