Kotoko hires Seydou Zerbo as new head coach
Asante Kotoko has confirmed the appointment of Seydou Zerbo as substantive coach for the team.
His appointment comes after the exit of coach Prosper Narteh Ogum.
Zerbo who has previously coached Burkina Faso’s national football team joins Kotoko on a one year deal, with the option of a further year.
The 59 year old has previously coached teams like SONABEL, ASFA Yennenga, and Rail Club du Kadiogo, who Kotoko are set to face in the CAF Champions League preliminary round.
He was also in charge of the Burkina Faso team that eliminated Ghana in 2019, during the CHAN Qualifiers. The Stallions however failed to progress from the group stages at the tournament in Cameroon.
Meanwhile, Kotoko have announced the cancellation of their scheduled Turkey preseason tour.
The Porcupines Warriors will now travel to Sudan for the second phase of their preseason. They will depart Ghana today, August 21, 2022, and return on September 1, 2022.
Kotoko will play preseason friendlies against Sudanese clubs that have qualified for CAF Competitions during the tour as they prepare for the start of the 2022/23 season.
One of the clubs Kotoko will face is Al-Hilal Omdurman on Tuesday, August 23, 2022.
“Our planned trip to Turkey for the second phase of our preseason has been cancelled due to issues related to delays in visa acquisition,” the club said in a statement on Sunday morning.
“The club has therefore opted to travel to Sudan from 21st August 2022 to 1st September 2022 for the second phase of our preseason.
“We will be engaged in strategic friendly games with other opponents who have qualified for CAF competitions.”
