Karim Zito addressing his players during first engagement
New Asante Kotoko head coach Abdul Karim Zito has held his first training session following his appointment on Tuesday, April 23, 2025.
The manager began work immediately, supervising the team’s training ahead of their matchday 27 clash against Aduana Stars.
The former Ghana U-20 coach has been appointed interim head coach of the Reds for the remainder of the 2024/2025 season, as the club restructures its technical team.
“Abdul Karim Zito has been appointed as the club’s new Technical Director. A former player and head coach of Asante Kotoko, Coach Zito returns with vast experience at both club and national levels, including guiding Dreams FC to a historic CAF Confederation Cup semi-final and leading Ghana’s U-20 team to the 2021 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations title.
“He will also serve as Acting Head Coach on an interim basis until a substantive head coach is appointed,” a portion of the statement released on April 22, 2025, read.
He replaces Dr. Prosper Ogum Narteh, who was dismissed following a poor run of results that saw the team drop from the top of the table to fourth place.
