The draw against Nsoatreman FC on Matchday Three ensured they picked up four points in three games after losing 1-0 to Dreams FC on Matchday Two.
The story has gone from good to worse as they have failed to get a single point in their last five games in the betPawa Premier league; losing to Bechem United, Hearts of Oak, King Faisal, Samartex and Medeama.
Ablade has been sacked following the poor run of results which sees Kotoku Royals bottom of the league table, five points behind 15th placed King Faisal, having scored two goals and conceded seven goals in return.
“Kotoku Royals Football Club have relieved Seth Ablade from official duties as head coach,” the club said in a statement.
“The club would like to thank coach wish him the very best in his future endeavours.”
Former Asante Kotoko trainer Akakpo Patron has been put in temporary charge until a new coach is appointed.
