Former Asante Kotoko captain Amos Frimpong attributes club’s struggles to division among fans

Published on: 18 April 2024

Former Asante Kotoko skipper Amos Frimpong has attributed the club’s recent struggles in the Ghana Premier League to division among fans.

The Porcupine Warriors has been dismal in the domestic top-flight and are currently ranked 11th in the standings with 33 points.

The Ghanaian giants has suffered six defeats in their last seven games in the Ghanaian top-flight, picking just a point across the period.

Kotoko have won only one game in 2024 following a sharp decline in form, which has seen the Kumasi-based giants drop from title contenders to survival hopefuls.

They are five place away from dropping to the relegation zone, with eight games to end the season.

Explaining his former outfit struggles, Amos Frimpong said, “I would not say it's because of the technical team or the problem is only the technical handlers. I am on most platforms of Asante Kotoko supporters. Currently, you could see most of them or the supporters are divided into two. Some are still supporting the past management and some are also supporting the current management," he told Guide Radio.

"And if this happen in the team, it will always be difficult for the team to progress. So personally, I will attribute this recent performance to the division in Asante Kotoko because I see there is no unity among the supporters and it is really causing the team as a whole," he added.

Kotoko, who are currently eleventh on the table will face leaders Samartex on Sunday before a game against champions Medeama SC.
