FC AshantiGold SC have named Abdul Karim Zito as their new head coach in a decisive move aimed at strengthening their push for promotion.
The Miners currently sit at the summit of the Division One League Zone 2 table with 40 points from 22 matches. Their advantage, however, is slim. A three-point cushion separates them from close challengers Ebusua Dwarfs FC, leaving little margin for error as the season edges toward its climax.
Zito arrives with a reputation for discipline, structure and an eye for talent development. His appointment comes not long after his resignation from Asante Kotoko SC, where a difficult run of results brought his tenure to an abrupt end. Despite that setback, AshantiGold’s hierarchy appear confident that his experience and knowledge of the domestic game make him the right figure to steady the ship.
For the Miners, the objective is clear. After years away from the top flight, the ambition to return to the Ghana Premier League is burning stronger than ever. The decision to hand Zito the reins signals intent and belief that he can manage the pressure of a tightly contested promotion race.
With matches dwindling and rivals in close pursuit, every tactical call and selection decision will carry weight. Zito now steps into a familiar spotlight, charged with guiding AshantiGold across the finish line and back to the elite stage of Ghanaian football.
