Kotoko will host Aduana Stars in their next league game.
Coach Ogum was optimistic of club’s league chances
Before the decision to relieve Ogum of his duties, he was optimistic the Porcupine Warriors stood a chance of winning the Ghana Premier League despite giving away the top spot.
The Porcupine Warriors suffered a 2-0 defeat against Nations FC on Sunday, just days after losing heavily to Accra Lions. The back-to-back losses have seen Kotoko slip from the top of the table down to fourth place, putting their title hopes under real pressure.
Speaking to Globe TV after the match, Ogum admitted he was frustrated with the poor run of form but urged supporters not to lose faith in the team. Ogum said:
“Back-to-back defeats aren’t ideal, but as the technical team, it’s our job to motivate the players despite external pressure. These are the same players who went on a long unbeaten run earlier. We believe we can turn this around.”
Kotoko are still in position to win a league and FA Cup double, having progressed to the semi-finals with a 2-1 victory over True Democracy.
