Don’t Rush For A Trophy Rather Build Kotoko; Otumfuo Directs Coach Ogum

The Life Patron of the Asante Kotoko Sporting Club, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has directed the Club’s head coach, Dr Prosper Narteh Ogum to focus on building the club before anything else.

He advised the coach against getting anxious for a title or trophy as the Club remains in tatters.

“Don’t be anxious to win a cup with the Club. Instead, focus on building it. If the players are able to win a trophy, I am fine with it but don’t rush for a cup. I will be glad if you win an African Cup but my focus is on the development of the Club.”

This, he said during a meeting with the Interim Management Committee (IMC) of the Club, players and the technical team at the Manhyia Palace on Monday, August 7, 2023.

He said the coach will be retained for as long as possible, only if he delivers on his mandate and develops the club. He assured him of the needed room to work and charged the IMC to do same.

Dr Ogum in an address expressed his appreciation to the King for entrusting him with one of his assets.

“We have been given the mental picture of what Otumfuo wants the Club to become and we will work to bring it to that point,” he said.
