Former Asante Kotoko management member Dr. Kwame Baah Nuako has weighed in on the ongoing discussions surrounding Karim Zito’s future at the club, stating that there is absolutely nothing wrong if the club decides to hand him the head coach role on a permanent basis.
Speaking on Akoma 87.9 FM, Dr. Baah Nuako highlighted that the decision must be mutual between the coach and the club’s leadership.
“The issue isn’t just what management wants, but what Zito wants to do. Has anyone asked him if he wants the position on a permanent basis? If so, he is demonstrating that he is capable of leading the team,” he noted.
Zito, who has stepped in to lead the Porcupine Warriors in recent matches, has impressed with his tactical discipline and man-management, sparking calls for his full-time appointment.
“Nothing stops them from appointing him, but as I previously stated, it is up to the coach and the management. The management team might desire him, but Zito might have other intentions, so we’ll see what happens,” Baah Nuako added.
He concluded by urging both parties to communicate openly and make a decision that benefits the club moving forward.
“If Zito is not tied up with another plan and wants to coach Kotoko, nothing prevents them from appointing him.”
Since his appointment, Karim Zito is unbeaten in his first four games, winning three.
He has led Kotoko back in the title race, sitting two points behind leaders God Stars while qualifying them to the final of the MTN FA Cup.
