Asante Kotoko coach Karim Zito has urged the club’s supporters to remain patient as he works to address the challenges facing the team.
The veteran coach’s future has been questioned following a series of inconsistent performances in the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League. After 21 games, Kotoko sits fifth on the league table with 35 points, though they have advanced to the Round of 16 in the FA Cup.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ultimate Sports Show, Zito appealed to fans for understanding, promising to steer the club back on track.
“I have never been sacked as a head coach. If a club hires me, I will work, and at the end of the day, I’ll leave my role. But this is my club, and I know how the fans behave,” he said.
“I only plead with the fans to be patient, and we will surely win. We are in fifth place, and it’s not over. With 14 games left, we remain in contention for the league title.
“Sometimes, my players are disturbed, but I keep telling them this is the nature of our work. Fans have the right to protest, but they should be patient,” he added.
Kotoko will face Aduana FC in the FA Cup Round of 16 this weekend at the Baba Yara Stadium before hosting bitter rivals Hearts of Oak in Matchday 22 of the Ghana Premier League next weekend.
