Communications Director of Asante Kotoko, Samuel Sarfo Duku, has expressed confidence that the club’s head coach, Karim Zito, will steer the team successfully in their upcoming CAF Confederation Cup campaign.
Zito, who previously managed the Black Satellites and Dreams FC, was confirmed as the substantive head coach of the Porcupine Warriors following the conclusion of the 2024/25 season.
He took over from Prosper Narteh Ogum in the latter part of last season and led Kotoko to FA Cup glory, defeating Golden Kick FC at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium.
Having previously guided Dreams FC to the semifinals of the CAF Confederation Cup in their debut appearance, Duku believes Zito possesses the experience and tactical acumen needed to replicate such success for Kotoko.
"Karim Zito is an experienced manager, and if he needs any form of assistance, I am sure he would have tabled it before the management but with his experience and what he did with Dreams FC, we as a club have no doubt that he will guide us to where we want to be in our Africa campaign," he told Asempa FM.
Asante Kotoko will open their Confederation Cup journey against Nigerian side Kwara United in the preliminary round.
The first leg is scheduled at the Accra Sports Stadium between September 19 and 21, with the return leg set to take place in Nigeria from September 26 to 28.
