Former Asante Kotoko skipper Amos Frimpong has blamed inexperienced for the club’s struggles in the ingoing Ghana Premier League campaign.
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.
"This season I have watched most of Kotoko games and at times if you are at the stadium watching the game you could also clearly see most of them are inexperienced and it sometimes causes the team," he told Guide Radio.
"For example, I was at the stadium watching Kotoko against Nations FC and I played with Prince Acquah, a former player of Kotoko, he was playing for Nations FC. I was telling my colleague if Prince Acquah is playing against these current players of Kotoko. There is no fear because he has seen it all," he added.
"So I will also attribute the recent performance of the team to inexperience of most of the players. There are good players but most of them are inexperienced and have not seen things like this before."
Kotoko, who are currently eleventh on the table will face leaders Samartex on Sunday before a game against champions Medeama SC.
