Asante Kotoko head coach Karim Zito has set his sights on guiding the Porcupine Warriors into the group stage of the 2025/26 CAF Confederation Cup.
The Ghanaian giants advanced to the second round of the preliminary stage after edging Nigerian side Kwara United 5-3 on aggregate. Their next challenge will be a tough clash against Moroccan powerhouse Wydad Athletic Club.
Speaking to Akoma FM, Zito acknowledged the magnitude of the task ahead but expressed confidence in his team’s capabilities.
“Our target is to qualify for the group stages. In football, nothing is impossible, even though it will be difficult,” he said.
The coach, however, emphasized that his immediate focus remains on domestic competitions.
“I’m not thinking about WAC at the moment; my focus is on Heart of Lions,” he noted.
Zito also appealed for strong support from the club’s fans, particularly if the clash against Wydad is held in Kumasi.
“I would prefer that we play Wydad AC in Kumasi, but if it ends up in Accra, we’re fine with it. I will call on the fans to always come in their numbers and support us. When they are huge, it gives us so much confidence,” he added.
Kotoko will now turn their attention to the Ghana Premier League, where they host Heart of Lions at the Baba Yara Stadium on Matchday 4.
