Reports from local media suggest that Asante Kotoko coach Prosper Narteh Ogum is under increasing pressure, facing an ultimatum of three games to secure his position.
The team has faced notable challenges in the latter part of the ongoing 2023/24 Ghana Premier League season.
With just one victory in five matches, Kotoko’s recent loss to Nations FC on Sunday at the Baba Yara Stadium during Matchday 23 has intensified scrutiny on Ogum’s future. This defeat has left the team in 9th place on the Premier League standings, with 32 points.
Speculations abound that Ogum has three upcoming games to reverse the team’s fortunes and secure his job. Kotoko will face Bechem United at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park, followed by a home game against Nsoatreman FC at the Baba Yara Stadium. The final match in this crucial period will be against Dreams FC at the Theatre of Dreams in Dawu.
Ogum’s return to Kotoko coincided with a shakeup in the club’s management structure, following the dissolution of the management committee and board of directors by the club’s life patron, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II. This led to the establishment of the Interim Management Committee (IMC).
The pressure is on for Ogum to deliver results, as his future at the club hangs in the balance.
