Prosper Narteh Ogum has confirmed that he has resigned as Asante Kotoko in a letter addressed to the club and supporters.
Ogum stated that his “departure is in the best interest of the club” and extended “warmest appreciation to His Royal Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Board and Management of the club for the opportunity, belief and trust reposed in me and my team and made my dream a reality.”
Ogum was appointed on a two-year deal before the start of last season after leaving WAFA. He guided the team to win the Ghana Premier League.
The University lecturer announced his decision to step down during a board meeting last month, and he submitted a letter to that effect this week.
“My journey at Kotoko was short lived but the varied experience during this period will always remain dear. The passion, warmth and love I was welcomed with made me feel at home. Indeed, my dream of becoming a Kotoko coach, which I constantly told my students, had come to reality. Though enthused about joining one of the biggest clubs in Africa I knew I was brought there for a reason, the mission was to deliver,” Ogum said.
Kotoko have begun pre-season training under the direction of youth coach Abdul Gazele. They will travel to Turkey to continue their season preparations.
The management is said to be looking for a new coach.
