Asante Kotoko head coach Abdul Karim Zito has admitted that his ambitions of securing the Ghana Premier League title have not materialized as planned, and he is now fully focused on winning the MTN FA Cup.
Speaking in an interview aired on Peace FM, Zito reflected on missed opportunities during the campaign, particularly the draw against arch-rivals Hearts of Oak and Gold Stars, which dented the club’s title hopes.
“I will say it is going according to plan if I won all the games, yes. If you see, I missed against Hearts of Oak. Assuming I won that game, look at where I would be. Today too, assuming I won that game, look at where I would be,” he said.
Despite the disappointment in the league, Zito remains optimistic and determined to bring silverware to Asante Kotoko, pointing to the upcoming FA Cup final against Golden Kicks as a major objective.
“So for me, I will say yes, we are on course. The only thing I can hit my chest and say is I have an FA Cup final to play, and I will wish I win the cup for Asante Kotoko,” Zito added.
The MTN FA Cup final is scheduled for June 15, 2025, at the Legon Sports Stadium, with kickoff set for 3 PM.
