Ghanaian coach and football scout, Ebenezer Sefa has citied indiscipline amongst players of Kumasi Asante Kotoko as the major cause of the clubs struggles in the Ghana Premier League (GPL).
According to him, choices of the players both on and off the pitch has contributed to the really poor performance in the league.
Speaking to Sporty FM, Coach Sefa said, “There is indiscipline in the Asante Kotoko squad. Players are drinking and chasing each other’s girlfriends and that is affecting their performance on the pitch. So before we can blame the coach, we need to take a look at the attitude and behavior of the players too.”He advised the club’s supporters against blaming the coach for their woes, stating the players have also played a major role in that.
This revelation comes just days after the club sacked head coach Prosper Narteh Ogum, who had been under pressure following a string of bad results, replacing him with coach Abdul Karim Zito.
Asante Kotoko have failed to win any of their last five matches in the Ghana Premier League. This poor run of form has caused the team to drop from the top of the league table to fourth position, with 47 points after 28 matches.They have also failed to win any of their last four games, a run that has left their fans deeply frustrated.
