Kotoko clarify Prince Owusu’s exit rumours

“The club wishes to firmly debunk rumours suggesting that Interim Head Coach Prince Yaw Owusu has left the team’s camp without notice. These claims are untrue.

“Prince duly sought permission from management to attend to urgent family matters as he continues to mourn the passing of his beloved mother.

“He is expected to return to Kumasi this morning and any further updates or decisions will be officially communicated in due course.”

Kotoko have posted poor results in the last six games, recording three losses, two draw and just a win.

Their poor performance has seen them drop to 6th on the league with 43 points, ten points behind leaders Medeama from 29 games.

They will have a walkover in their next fixture against Hohoe United who have withdrawn from the league.
