Dr. Prosper Ogum steps down as Asante Kotoko head coach after series of poor results
Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum is reportedly set to resign as head coach of Asante Kotoko, with a formal announcement expected soon, according to sources close to the club.
Ogum, who led the team to a historic Ghana Premier League title in the 2021/22 season, has seen a mix of triumphs and challenges during his tenure. While his early success revived the club’s fortunes, recent form has left many questioning his future at the helm.
A Season of Frustration and Inconsistency
Despite a promising start to the current campaign, Kotoko have stumbled in recent weeks, suffering consecutive defeats to Accra Lions and Nations FC. These losses have derailed their title hopes and sparked speculation around Ogum’s position.
Currently sitting fourth on the league table, the team’s record this season stands at:
- 13 wins
- 8 draws
- 7 losses
- 28 goals scored, 21 conceded
- 1.68 average points per game
This run of form has been below expectations for a club with Kotoko’s stature and ambitions.
Ogum’s Final Words and Management’s Decision
In a recent interview, Dr. Ogum admitted to being frustrated with the team’s inconsistent performances but remained publicly committed to steering them back to winning ways. However, internal discussions appear to have led to a mutual agreement for him to step down.
With only a few matches left in the season, the club is believed to be moving swiftly in its search for a replacement to guide the team through the final stretch and prepare for the upcoming campaign.
What’s Next for Kotoko?
The departure of Dr. Ogum comes at a critical moment. With fans demanding results and consistency, the club’s management is now tasked with finding a new coach capable of restoring momentum and long-term competitiveness.
An official statement from Asante Kotoko is expected in the coming days, outlining Ogum’s exit and providing clarity on the next steps for the technical bench.
