I’m Really Surprised By How Ashantigold 04 Parted Ways With Coach Karim Zito – Fred Achie

According to a report by KessbenTV, on Wednesday October 28, 2026, Football administrator Fred Achie has expressed surprise over the decision by Ashantigold 04 to part ways with head coach Karim Zito, questioning the circumstances surrounding the club’s move to end its working relationship with the experienced Ghanaian tactician.

Achie’s reaction comes amid discussions surrounding the coaching change at the Obuasi-based club, with the decision attracting attention among football followers who are eager to understand the reasons behind the reported separation.

Speaking on the matter, Achie openly admitted that he was taken aback by how the club handled the situation involving Zito, suggesting that the circumstances surrounding the coach’s departure were unexpected.

“I’m really surprised by how Ashantigold 04 parted ways with Coach Karim Zito,” Fred Achie said.

Achie’s comments add to the growing conversation surrounding Ashantigold 04’s decision to make changes to its technical department at a crucial stage of the 2026/27 Ghana Premier League season.

Zito had played an important role in the club’s journey back to the top flight, having joined the team after leaving Asante Kotoko. His experience and contribution to Ashantigold’s promotion made his departure a major development for the Obuasi-based side.

The club announced that Zito, assistant coach Ernest Okyere and goalkeeper trainer Robert Dabo had been relieved of their duties with immediate effect following a meeting of the Interim Management Committee.

Management also confirmed that a caretaker coach would oversee the team until permanent replacements were appointed.

Although the club initially did not disclose the reasons for the decision, subsequent comments from Chief Executive Officer Edward Kwasi Akuoko pointed to inconsistent results, poor away performances and reported disagreements among members of the technical team.

The decision has since generated discussion among football observers, particularly because it came after Zito had helped Ashantigold secure promotion to the Ghana Premier League.

For Achie, the manner in which the club ended its relationship with the coach was surprising, adding his voice to the reactions surrounding one of the notable coaching changes in Ghanaian football.

As Ashantigold move forward under interim leadership, attention will turn to how the team responds to the technical changes and whether management can appoint a new coaching team capable of delivering the consistency it expects for the remainder of the campaign.
