Asante Kotoko's hopes of winning the Ghana Premier League title this season may have been ruined not just by poor performances, but by shocking behaviour off the pitch.
According to Ghanaian football scout Ebenezer Sefa, indiscipline among the players has been a major issue behind the club’s struggles.
Speaking to Sporty FM, Sefa made serious claims about the players' lifestyle choices, saying:
There is indiscipline in the Asante Kotoko squad. Players are drinking and chasing each other's girlfriends.

The Porcupine Warriors now sit six points adrift of league leaders Bibiani Gold Stars.
While many blamed Ogum for the poor form, Sefa insisted that the players’ behaviour must also take a large part of the blame. His comments have sparked serious conversations among supporters, who are now questioning the players' commitment and professionalism.

In the aftermath of Ogum’s dismissal, the club moved quickly to make changes. Former player and experienced coach Abdul Karim Zito has been appointed as Interim Coach and Technical Director, while Prince Yaw Owusu has joined as his assistant.
