Asante Kotoko have officially parted ways with head coach Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum amid poor run of form in the 2024/25 Ghana Premier League season.
Ogum, who famously led the Porcupine Warriors to league glory in the 2021/22 campaign, was reappointed in July 2023 with renewed optimism.
However, his return has not delivered the expected results. Kotoko have failed to win any of their last three matches, with a 2-0 defeat to Nations FC on Matchday 28 appearing to be the final straw.
The club announced the decision in an official statement released on Saturday afternoon:
“Asante Kotoko Sporting Club has this afternoon parted company with Head Coach Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum.
This decision was reached following constructive discussions between both parties, with a shared understanding that it is in the best interest of the club at this time.
We thank Coach Ogum for his dedication and service to the club, and we wish him the very best in his future endeavors.
We urge our supporters to remain calm and continue to support the club during this transition. Further updates will be communicated in due course.”
Ogum’s departure comes at a critical juncture in the season. Kotoko currently sit six points behind league leaders Bibiani Gold Stars, with just six matches remaining.
The pressure is now on the club’s hierarchy to appoint a successor capable of turning their campaign around and keeping their slim title hopes alive.
As the race for the Ghana Premier League crown intensifies, Kotoko supporters will be hoping for a swift response and renewed momentum under new leadership.
