We are building a team that can compete at any level – Prosper Narteh Ogum

“We are building a team that can compete at any level” – Kotoko coach Prosper Narteh Ogum

Prosper Narteh Ogum, the head coach of Asante Kotoko, has asked the club’s fans for patience as he tries to construct a competitive team capable of success on all fronts.

The Porcupines have yet to win a game in the Ghana Premier League this season, having drawn one and lost the other. Their season began with a draw at home before falling to Bibiani Goldstars 2-1 at Duns Park.

Prosper Narteh, speaking at a pre-match press conference ahead of their encounter against Karela United, emphasised the importance of patience while he assembles a new team.

He stated, “If you look at the performance, it’s a process as I have already indicated, we are putting together a new team and if you are building a new team with a whole lot of new players, old players, different identities, different game understanding and intelligence, I mean it will take some time”

“To me, if I look at the two games we’ve played, they did well looking at the way they played. We have to be realistic to ourselves, if you look at certain components of the game within the two games you can tell that they did well. So it’s all about the players getting to know themselves and then knowing how to react to each other with the ball and without the ball”
