I won't rescind my comment - Dreams FC coach Karim Zito tells GFA

Published on: 04 February 2020

Dreams FC coach Abdul Karim Zito has disclosed that he is not ready to rescind his comment he made after his side suffered a 1-0 defeat to Hearts of Oak on Sunday despite being charged by Ghana Football Association (GFA).

The Disciplinary Committee of the GFA has charged coach Zito for misconduct and also using abusive language against the officials who handled the game.

He has therefore been handed a one match ban with a fine of GH¢ 5000 if he is found guilty of the above mentioned misconducts.

However, speaking in an interview with Kumasi based OTEC FM , the experienced gaffer claims he is not ready to change what he said even if it will cause his coaching career.

"I said it, if they take me anywhere I will tell them I said it because when you look at my record I’ve never fought with a referee before but something has been happening to us that is why I said that", he said.

"Coaches, we do talk about what worries us so if what I said at the post-match is what they’ve used to charge me then I don’t think they are fair because I don’t see any abusive language in my words."

"I won’t change what I said even if they FA takes me to Tribunal, even if it will cause my coaching career because I don’t see anything wrong with defending my team," he concluded.

He has until February 5 to appeal the decision.
