Asante Kotoko’s interim head coach, Abdul Karim Zito, has revealed that his team is setting its sights on winning the MTN FA Cup ahead of securing the Ghana Premier League title this season.
Despite a season marked by inconsistency, the Porcupine Warriors still have the opportunity to claim both the MTN FA Cup and the Ghana Premier League trophies by the end of the 2024/25 campaign.
Kotoko currently sit fourth in the league with 51 points, just five points adrift of leaders Gold Stars, while also reaching the semi-finals of the MTN FA Cup.
Speaking to the press after Kotoko’s goalless draw with Hearts of Oak on last Sunday, Zito explained his team’s approach, emphasizing the importance of the FA Cup.
“When you look at the two sides of the coin the FA Cup and the league I think, if I’m not going to be selfish, we have to push more for the FA Cup. So, we are going to prioritize the FA Cup over the league.
I have to be honest with you,” Zito stated. The coach and his team are now focused on preparing for their upcoming MTN FA Cup semi-final clash against Berekum Chelsea.
