Interim head coach Prince Yaw Owusu has reportedly left Asante Kotoko's camp under unclear circumstances, deepening uncertainty around the club following a difficult run of results. Local reports from Kumasi-based Oyerepa FM indicate that the coach quietly left the team’s residence, took his belongings, and failed to show up for training on Thursday morning. His whereabouts remain unknown, with attempts by club officials to reach him so far unsuccessful. The sudden development has triggered concern within the club hierarchy, with suggestions that his departure could be linked to alleged threats from sections of supporters, adding to growing tension around the Porcupine Warriors. The situation comes in the wake of a heavy 4-0 defeat to league leaders Medeama SC at the TNA Park last Sunday, a result that significantly intensified pressure on the technical team and deepened frustration among fans. Owusu, who stepped in to replace Abdul Karim Zito, struggled to stabilize the side during his short spell in charge. In eight matches, he recorded two wins, four defeats, and two draws. Ghana Premier League side Kotoko currently sit sixth on the table with 43 points, 10 points behind Medeama, a gap that has further raised questions about the team’s direction this season. Assistant coach Hamza Obeng, formerly of Hearts of Oak, is expected to take interim charge as the club navigates the uncertain period. Asante Kotoko are scheduled to face Hohoe United and Dreams FC in their upcoming league fixtures as they look to steady their campaign.
