Steven Polack decries lack of planning at Kotoko

Published on: 12 March 2018

Coach Steven Polack has bemoaned the lack of planning at Asante Kotoko and says anytime he returns to Ghana, he will love to be at a club that appreciates planning.

The former Kotoko trainer was dismissed by the club about a month ago for his so-called non-performance after their first-round exit in the CAF Confederation Cup.

“I’m a bit sad that I’m leaving. I feel like, I need to go home, have a little break; get refreshed mentally and physically, spend some time with my family and who knows I could be back here in a couple of weeks’ time” Polack told Accra based Citi FM before leaving for the UK on Sunday.

He said, his likely return will be at a club that has “vision’’.

“But if I was to come back to Ghana, it has to be a club that actually has a vision and plan, and a strategy not for one season but two, three-four five years and they are ambitious. Not like hey! We got to win today otherwise you are out. I think you need to have a plan” he said.

Asked if he thought Kotoko didn’t have a plan, he replied: “Well, let’s just say, I don’t know what the planning order is so you need to ask them what the plan is. I don’t know what the plan is…”

Polack, who was appointed by Kotoko mid-season, won the MTN FA Cup and placed 5th on the league table. He’s credited with saving Kotoko from a disappointing run in the 2016/17 Ghana Premier League.
