Former Kumasi Asante Kotoko Coach Dzravko Lugarisic has lamented over the hasty decision by the management of the club to show him the exit door.
The Croatian tactician was sacked midway last season over his tactics, with several of the clubs fans complaining about his defensive tactics.
The former Ashantigold manager is now Coach of the Sudan national team and has led his side to the semis of the CHAN tournament. He was speaking to GTV's Benjamin Willie Graham when he said Kotoko were impatient with him.
“I came without proper pre-season, all the players they signed had just started training. If you [didn’t] get proper pre-season, five, six or seven weeks, then you can’t play proper football because you [won’t] get power, you [won’t] get strength and stamina to play; you have to play the type of football that suits the team and the players,” said Logarusic.
“We didn’t play nothing attractive after 10 weeks [but] I was one point behind the leader and second position when I was fired. We still had lot of time for improvement. We were not far from the leader but there wasn’t much patience…I lost two games – one against Medeama and against Hearts of Oak with a dubious penalty. I came home, I lost points through dubious penalty [and] they jumped on me…”
“Sometimes you lose but when you are on the right track, with only three months together, in good position, [there’s] no reason to panic, but they decided to change. I’ve to follow their decision…They hired me, they fired me” he said.
