Asante Kotoko head coach Prosper Narteh Ogum has responded to his detractors, saying he is adhering to directives from the life patron of the club, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
The Ghanaian giants has been in dismal form, picking just ten points from a possible 27 after nine games so far this season.
Kotoko occupy 14th position on the league standings. They have won 2, drawn 4 and lost 3 of those matches.
The former WAFA tactician has come under intense pressure following Kotoko’s unimpressive performance so far this season.
However, Ogum insists he is working according to the instructions of the team owner, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
“The life patron of the team (Otumfuo) engaged me on three different occasions and he was blunt about his vision for the club before he granted me the position. The King wants us to rebuild a team for him and that is exactly what I’m doing and I can’t go outside that”
“Because of that, we decided to go in for the Division One and Two players after missing out on those Premier League players and given the time and the patience, they will be able to fit into the team”
“so I am working strictly according to the instructions of the landlord, the King and the owner of the club. I cannot do anything apart from that and still when he calls me or talks with me that is what he is still emphasizing” he said.
