Asante Kotoko’s slump in performance has prompted the Manhyia Palace to convene an emergency meeting on Thursday, amidst escalating tensions between the team’s supporters and Head Coach Prosper Nartey Ogum.
This urgent gathering follows a tumultuous incident on Tuesday, where disgruntled fans stormed the training grounds, seeking to halt the coach’s duties due to a dismal run of results in the last nine matches.
The Ghana News Agency (GNA) Sports reports that the team skipped training on Wednesday morning, despite a pivotal encounter with league leaders Samartex 1996 looming on Sunday.
The Porcupine Warriors have experienced a precipitous decline, plummeting from third to 12th position, with a mere three-point cushion separating them from the relegation zone.
This downward spiral has yielded a meager four points from a possible 27.Former player Samuel Opoku Nti has urged Coach Ogum to temporarily step aside, allowing a fresh perspective to address the crisis.
Opoku Nti believes a coaching change could revitalize the team, citing the strained relationship between Coach Ogum and several players as a significant obstacle to progress.
“Rumors of a rift between the coach and most players are circulating, and that’s not what we need at this critical juncture,” he stressed.
As the team faces a make-or-break moment, fans eagerly await decisive action from the emergency meeting to reverse the tide of poor performance.
The expectation is that this gathering will yield pivotal decisions to chart a new course for the team, potentially paving the way for a resurgence in fortunes.
