Dr Prosper Narteh Ogum has been sacked as Kotoko manager
Asante Kotoko have officially parted ways with head coach, Dr Prosper Narteh Ogum, according to a statement released by the club.
According to the club, the decision was made by mutual agreement following discussions between both parties.
“Asante Kotoko Sporting Club has, this afternoon, parted company with Head Coach Dr Prosper Narteh Ogum.
“This decision was reached following constructive discussions between both parties, with a shared understanding that it is in the best interest of the club at this time,” the statement read.
The manager’s dismissal comes in the wake of the team’s 2-0 loss to Nations FC on Sunday, April 20, 2025.
The former WAFA gaffer exits two seasons after returning for a second stint with the Porcupine Warriors. His departure marks the end of a turbulent campaign that has seen the club fall from title contention.
Kotoko, who led the table at some point, have now slipped to fourth place on the table, having managed only two wins in their last nine games.
During this stretch, they have drawn five and lost two, with both defeats coming back-to-back, with the first being a 3-0 loss to struggling Accra Lions, followed by the recent 2-0 defeat to Nations FC.
The team’s sharp dip in form appears to have been a key factor in the decision to part ways with Ogum, as their ambition to secure the league title has grown increasingly uncertain.
Currently, Asante Kotoko sit on 47 points, trailing league leaders Bibiani Gold Stars by six points with six matches remaining in the season.
Despite their inconsistency in the league, the club remains in the hunt for silverware, with a place in the semi-finals of the MTN FA Cup keeping hopes of a domestic double alive.
