Asante Kotoko legend Malik Jabir has expressed his excitement and satisfaction with the return of coach Dr Prosper Narteh Ogum to the club.
The former WAFA coach left the Porcupines after the 2021/22 season despite guiding the club to a Ghana Premier League title triumph for the first time in eight-years.
Following the dissolution of the 12-member board of directors led by Dr Kwame Kyei and the management led by Nana Yaw Amponsah, the life patron of the club Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has named a four-member Interim Management Committee (IMC) to run the affairs ahead of the new season.
They include Nana Apinkra Akwasi Awua who is the Kontomponiaferehene and a chartered accountant.
Other members include former Black Stars coach James Kwesi Appiah, Dr Prosper Narteh Ogum, who has been named the new head coach, and Emmanuel Newton Dasoberi, who will serve as the administrative manager.
However, Malik Jabir praised Ogum for his previous accomplishments, recalling how he led a less talented team to win the league.
Jabir revealed the club’s high expectations for coach Ogum’s second stint, hoping that within two years, he would build a formidable team capable of winning the African cup.
He expressed confidence in the coach’s abilities, believing that he has the potential to achieve this ambitious goal for the club. Jabir shared his optimism with Oyerepa, emphasizing that they firmly believe in coach Ogum’s capabilities.
“I am overwhelmed. I’m more than happy that he has come back. He proved it in his first coming, he won the league with a weak team, the boys he had were not the best in the country but he won the league”
“Our expectations is that, in two years he has to give us a team that can win the African cup and we know he can do it.”
