Ghanaian giants Asante Kotoko have appointed former Burkina Faso gaffer Seydou Zerbo as the club’s new coach following the exit of Prosper Narteh Ogum.
The experienced trainer is expected to lead the Porcupine Warriors until the end of the upcoming campaign.
Zerbo signed a one-year deal with Kotoko with an option to extend for another year.
He arrived in Ghana last night to conclude negotiations and other documentations to become the next head coach of the Porcupine Warriors.
The 59-year-old replaces Ghana Premier League winning coach Prosper Narteh who resigned at the end of the season.
Dr. Ogum guided the Ghanaian giants to clinch the Ghana Premier League title for the first time in eight years.
“We are delighted to Announce Burkinabè trainer, Seydou Zerbo as our new Head Coach for one season with an option for a further year” the club tweeted.
