Legendary Asante Kotoko player, Malik Jabir has revealed Prosper Narteh Ogum’s return to the team is surprising, but has challenged him to assemble a squad capable of competing in Africa.
Jabir believes that Ogum’s return brings renewed hope and that he can help the club win both on the domestic and international scene within two years.
“I am overwhelmed. I’m more than happy that he has come back. He proved it in his first coming; he won the league with a weak team, the boys he had were not the best in the country, but he won the league,” Jabir stated, praising Ogum’s coaching prowess.
“Our expectations are that, in two years, he has to give us a team that can win the African Cup, and we know he can do it,” he added expressing confidence in the coach’s abilities to lead Asante Kotoko to continental success.
