Asante Kotoko defender Samba O’Neil has expressed strong support for Abdul Karim Zito to continue leading the team as they prepare for their CAF Confederation Cup campaign.
Karim Zito, the former Black Satellites head coach, was appointed interim coach midway through the latter part of the 2024/25 season following the dismissal of Prosper Narteh Ogum.
Under Zito’s leadership, Kotoko secured their 10th FA Cup title with a 2-1 victory over Golden Kick FC at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium.

Although the club has yet to make a final decision regarding the future of the veteran coach, O’Neil is confident that retaining Karim Zito would be the right move ahead of the upcoming African competition.
“Karim Zito is a good coach, and I think he should lead us to Africa,” he told Asempa FM’s Ultimate Sports Show.
He also commended the standard of the Ghana Premier League, stating, “There is quality in the Ghana Premier League, and I am happy to be here.”
Asante Kotoko will take part in the GHALCA Top Four tournament set for August 1 before travelling to South Africa for the Toyota Cup match against Kaizer Chiefs.
