The Interim Management Committee (IMC) of Asante Kotoko, have reaffirmed their support for under-fire coach, Prosper Narteh Ogum despite recent poor results in the Ghana Premier League.
Kotoko have been in dismal form since the resumption of the Ghana Premier League last month. The Porcupine Warriors have managed just a win out of six games in the second round of the season, losing five in the process.
The Ghanaian giants have dropped from the top four to the 9th position after 23 matches into the game.
Earlier reports in the media suggested coach Ogum has been given three games to redeem himself or faces the sack.
But a statement from the club has quashed such reports as the IMC backs Ogum to turn things around.
"The IMC acknowledges the concerns raised by our cherished supporters regarding our current situation. It must be placed on record that management is equally not enthused with our results and deem it unacceptable. However, the IMC is committed to ensuring that there is a quick turnaround in our current fortunes”
“In our quest to achieve this, various steps have been taken, including an emergency meeting with the coaching staff and not the dismissal of the head coach”
“We therefore urge our fans and all stakeholders to remain calm and continue to support our club in these turbulent times”
“We also thank you for all the concerns raised as well as your contributions, for which the IMC will give it the needed consideration. In the meantime, we all must unite and have absolute trust in our coaches to reclaim the stride with which we ended the first round”
