Kotoko legend endorses Karim Zito for Kotoko role

Asante Kotoko legend Sarfo Gyamfi has thrown his support behind interim head coach Karim Zito, praising his ability to nurture talent and adapt in difficult situations.

Speaking on Kessben FM, Gyamfi expressed confidence in Zito’s capabilities, whether he remains as technical director or is confirmed as Kotoko’s substantive head coach.

“Zito is a coach I like. No qualms if he becomes the substantive coach or remains as technical director. He can help develop players for us as a technical director,” he said. 

Gyamfi, popularly known as the “Black President,” pointed to Zito’s impressive track record with Dreams FC, where he rebuilt the squad after several key departures.

“He is noted for unearthing talents considering what he did for Dreams FC. He was able to assemble a new team for this season after losing a chunk of players to clubs abroad,” he added.

Zito’s work with Kotoko since taking over as interim head coach has been met with widespread praise, and growing calls from fans and former players suggest the club could consider a long-term future with him at the helm.
