Fresh details emerging about compensation owed Coach Karim Zito after his resignation from Asante Kotoko SC have sparked tension amongst the fans of Kotoko with some questioning the reality on the grounds. They want to know what will make Kotoko pay for compensation if really the coach willingly resigned.
The club’s Interim Management Committee has confirmed that GH¢60,000 has been paid to the coach, representing half of the agreed GH¢120,000 compensation package, equivalent to four months of salary. The payment follows what the club officially described as a resignation.
However, the situation appears far from settled. Zito is reportedly seeking clarity on the remaining GH¢60,000, raising concerns about when and how the outstanding balance will be settled.
Club sources insist that the remaining amount will be paid in installments. According to officials, internal bookkeeping constraints have necessitated a staggered payment structure rather than a lump sum settlement.
The development adds another chapter to what has already been a turbulent period for the Porcupine Warriors. Leadership changes and administrative adjustments have kept the club under the spotlight, and the compensation issue is now drawing further attention from supporters eager for stability.
While both sides have avoided escalating the matter publicly, the lingering questions over the unpaid balance suggest the story may not yet be over. For Kotoko, resolving the issue swiftly could help shift focus back to football matters as the club works to steady its course.
