Dreams FC coach Abdul Karim Zito has kicked against calls for the sacking of Asante Kotoko coach Prosper Narteh Ogum amid Ghana Premier League struggles.
The Porcupine Warriors has been dismal this season and are currently ranked 11th in the standings with 33 points.
Speaking after his sides triumph over Kotoko in Dawu, Zito, who is a legend of the Ghanaian giants expressed his disagreement with calls for the sacking of Ogum.
“I don’t agree” he said whiles responding to calls for the sacking of the one-time Premier league winner. “No one can tell me Prosper Narteh is not a good coach, he is a good coach. In football, there are moment and it can be positive or negative and that’s what happening with Ogum at the moment”
“Now things are not going as expected as Kotoko. You can’t make any signing or offload a player now so you have to comprise and use the players you have at your disposal now. I will urge all the stakeholders to support Ogum, playing body, and management until the season comes to an end so we can dialogue for the next campaign”
“The fear of failure has gripped the players, I saw it on the field of play when we played them. If the situation do not change, the players might feign injuries just to miss games”
“We cannot change the players at the moment. The squad available will have to finish the season, so they should forget about winning the league and ensure we are not relegated”
The Porcupine Warriors will play host to log leaders, Samartex in matchday 27 of the Ghanaian top-flight on Sunday.
