Asante Kotoko head coach Karim Zito has made it clear that striker Albert Amoah is not guaranteed a place in the starting lineup despite his impressive return to the club.
The 25-year-old rejoined the Ghana Premier League side on loan from Libyan club Al Ahly Benghazi until the end of the season. Amoah made an instant impact over the weekend, scoring in Kotoko’s emphatic 3-0 victory over Bibiani Gold Stars at the Baba Yara Stadium.
However, Zito insists that selection will be based strictly on performance in training and team cohesion, not reputation or past displays.
“I cannot say he will get an automatic place. Training will decide everything. That is why we train,” the Kotoko coach said.
“I don’t have a say now—what happens on the training ground will show us what to do. It’s about understanding and combinations. The players you pair who give you results are the best,” he added.
Amoah will hope to build on his fine start when Kotoko take on Heart of Lions in their Matchday 21 fixture at the Kpando Sports Stadium.
