Asante Kotoko trainer Mariano Bareto has shockingly disclosed the Porcupine Warriors is not a big club as perceived to be in the country.
The Portuguese trainer joined the Kumasi-based club before the start of the second round of the Ghana Premier League in March 2021 replacing Maxwell Konadu who was sacked in December 2020 following an unimpressive performance.
He guided the club to finish second on the league table at the end of the 2020/21 campaign.
The former Black Stars coach is frustrated with the situation at Kotoko and has been vocal about the recent happenings in the team.
About a week ago, Mariano Bareto lamented on the lack of washrooms at the club training ground compelling the players to use the bush nearly to attend to nature’s call as and when necessary.
In an interview with Kumasi-based Nhyira FM, the 64-year-old has passed another unfortunate comment about the two-time Africa champions claiming it is not as big as perceived to be.
He insisted Asante Kotoko is a big name but not a big team.
“Asante Kotoko is a big name and not a big team,” he said.
