Former Kotoko coach Steve Pollack urges the club to start building for the future after CAF CC elimination

Published on: 20 March 2019

Former Asante Kotoko gaffer Steve Pollack has called on the club to build from the disappointment of missing out on the quarter finals of the CAF Confederation Cup. 

The Porcupine Warriors failed to reach the last eight of the competition after suffering a 2-1 defeat to Zesco United in Zambia in the final group game.

Despite suffering elimination from the competition, the FA Cup winner with Asante Kotoko advised the club to start building for the future by keeping some players and members of the technical team.

"I wasn't surprised Kotoko got into the group stage of the CAF Confederation Cup because it is a big Club and I'm happy for them because it wasn't an easy task," he told ASHH FM Breakfast Sports.

"The way forward from the start wasn't the best because in competitions like this,you need to win all your home matches and try to secure some points away from home but things didn't work out well for Kotoko," he added.

"Kotoko must prepare for the future and try to keep the same players and technical team to build cohesion in the team and also learn from their mistakes on and off the pitch."

Steve Pollack was sacked after an unsuccessful CAF Confederation Cup campaign, where the Kumasi based club suffered a first round elimination to Congolese side CARA-Brazzaville.
