In the same interview with Smith said players ‘unserious attitude cost the club the Ghana Premier League title.
“The attitude of the players towards training at a point in time did not help us, especially after losing to Heart of Oak. I needed to speak to them, advise some of them to approach training with seriousness,” Smith told Westgold Radio.
Kotoko also failed to capture the MTN FA Cup as they exited the competition in the last four. That means, their season ended without a trophy.
