Pressure to win every game at Kotoko – Karim Zito

Karim Zito

Asante Kotoko head coach Abdul Karim Zito says he is fully aware of the expectations on his shoulders as the club prepares to kick off the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League season.

The Porcupine Warriors will open their campaign against Berekum Chelsea on Saturday, September 13, at the Golden City Park, with kick-off scheduled for 15:00 GMT.

Zito admitted that Kotoko’s hectic off-season, which allowed little rest for the players, presents a challenge.

However, he stressed that the team must rise to the occasion and compete for the title after finishing third in the league last season.

“This is my third spell with Kotoko, so I know what is at stake. We have to work hard to achieve our goals because Kotoko is a club that cannot settle for anything less than a win. We will do our best,” Zito told the club’s media team.
