Kumasi: The management of Ghana Premier League giants Asante Kotoko has issued a public apology to its fans for the delay in appointing a permanent coach to lead the club. The club acknowledged that recent performances have been abysmal but assured supporters that they are working diligently behind the scenes to appoint a substantive coach who can restore the team to glory.
According to Ghana Web, a statement released on April 15, 2026, urged fans to exercise restraint as they embark on a rigorous process to select a new coach. The board and management of Asante Kotoko SC acknowledged the concerns raised by supporters regarding the absence of a substantive head coach and the team's recent poor results. They fully understand the expectations that come with representing the great club.
The board is actively working to appoint a competent substantive head coach whose philosophy aligns with the long-term ambitions of the club. The statement, signed by the club's Communications Director, Sarfo Duku, requested patience from the fans as the club takes necessary time to identify the right candidate.
The club also apologized for the team's poor results, which are likely to lead to a trophyless season, and appealed to fans to continue supporting the club during these difficult times. They assured their cherished supporters that decisive steps are being taken to restore the club to its rightful standards, emphasizing that the future of the club remains a top priority.
This apology comes in response to mounting pressure from supporters after Kotoko's humiliating 4-0 loss to Medeama in the Ghana Premier League under interim coach Prince Owusu. The club currently sits sixth on the league table with 43 points.
