Former Asante Kotoko player Karim Zito has warned the club against handing the coaching job to an expatriate.
According Zito who is now coach of lower division side Dreams FC, the club must have confidence in coach Frimpong Manso to continue till the end of the season.
''I will advise Kotoko to have confidence in Frimpong Manso and give him the needed support and stop focusing on foreign coaches because most of the foreign coaches don’t know the local terrain, which takes them a longer period before they are able to deliver,'' Zito told Nhyira FM.
He added: ''Again, most of the local players also find it very difficult to understand the languages of these expatriate coaches so it becomes very difficult for these players to also understand the philosophies and the instructions of the expatriate coaches.''
There are reports that Kotoko have agreed a deal with Danish coach Ove Pederson to take over from the second round.
