Karim Zito has revealed the intense pressure he endured during his time with Asante Kotoko, admitting that the job took a serious toll on his health and personal life.
Reflecting on events shortly after his departure, the experienced coach shared a deeply personal account of what he went through behind the scenes.
“Seeing my doctor shortly after leaving Kotoko, he told me I was fortunate for the timely check-up; he noticed I was medically unfit, though I hadn’t realised while working.
I was living, eating, and talking alone, consumed by the Kotoko job. I handled the pressure all by myself. I only managed to see my family on five occasions.”
Zito’s disclosure highlights the enormous demands that come with coaching one of Ghana’s biggest clubs. His comments shed light on the emotional and physical strain that often goes unnoticed in top-level football.
The experienced tactician’s revelation serves as a reminder of the importance of health and family, even in the pursuit of professional success.
