Black Meteors head coach, Paa Kwasi Fabin beleives Asante Kotoko should have maintained Johnson Smith as the head coach of the club.
Smith joined the Kotoko technical bench from Karela United when Maxwell Konadu was named as the head coach of the club.
Following the departure of Maxwell Konadu in December after losing to Great Olympics, the management of the club appointed Johnson Smith as the interim gaffer of the club.
However, prior to the start of the second half of the season, former Black Stars coach, Mariano Barreto was appointed as the head coach of the club on a one and half year deal.
Kotoko under the Portuguese gaffer have not been impressive and according to Fabin, who is a former Kotoko coach believes Smith would have done a better job should he have been maintained as the head coach of the club.
"Asante Kotoko would have done better if they had maintained Johnson Smith at the wheel," he told Kumasi based Nhyira FM.
Asante Kotoko sit on the 2nd on the league log with 57 points and will finish their season with a home game against Elmina Sharks at the Obuasi Len Clay Stadium on Sunday.
Johnson Smith signed a two-year deal with the club, replacing Raphael Akakpo.
