Asante Kotoko, the current Ghana Premier League champions, have faced a number of challenges this season, including poor results and inconsistent performances on the pitch.
Former Asante Kotoko goalkeeper Osei Boateng believes that one of the factors contributing to the team’s struggles is the frequent changing of coaches. Currently, the team is being managed by Abdul Gazale after the sacking of Burkinabe tactician Seydou Zerbo following their defeat to Medeama SC.
Boateng stated in an interview on Peace FM, “I think for now the coaches issues they have I think with time Nana is doing well to boost the image of the club, organizing the census is a plus. Now if you mention Kotoko you can boldly say we are 8,000 or 7,000 that is a good one,” he said.
He also expressed that despite Nana’s efforts to boost the club’s image and organize the census, the frequent changes in coaching staff have resulted in inconsistent performances.
Boateng added that recent defeats to Olympics and Medeama, and a draw with Tamale City, have hindered Asante Kotoko’s chances of contending for the league title this season.
“But I think the changing of the coaches is not making the team stable today we score one, tomorrow then we are defeated, playing draw the next day. In recent matches Kotoko had the edge to be contenders of the league till this time but what did we see Olympics beat them, Tamale City draw Medeama beat them this didn’t help Kotoko,”
