Dr. Ogum Appointed Head Coach of Asante Kotoko
Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum is set to return to Asante Kotoko Sporting Club for the 2023-24 season. Dr. Ogum has been appointed Head Coach of the Club, and the appointment was announced by Manhyia Palace last night.
According to the Palace, His Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Asantehene and the life Patron of the Club, received Dr. Ogum in audience last night and granted him the job of rebuilding the club.
Coach Ogum is expected to start work immediately.
Dr. Ogum, the coach who led the club to a Ghana Premier League title victory after an eight-year wait, left the club at the end of the 2021-22 season.
Following his departure, the club appointed Burkinabe trainer Seydou Zerbo as his replacement. Zerbo managed the team during three major competitions, including the CAF Champions League and the MTN FA Cup.
However, his tenure was cut short when he was fired midway through the last season after a defeat to Medeama SC at Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi.
As an interim solution, Abdul Gazale, an assistant coach, was chosen to lead the team until the end of the season.
Meanwhile, it is expected that a new board will be put in place by Manhyia Palace following the dissolution of the Board and Management of Asante Kotoko at the end of their tenure.
