Reports from local media indicate that Asante Kotoko coach, Prosper Narteh Ogum, is facing mounting pressure as he's been issued an ultimatum of three games to salvage his position.

The Porcupine Warriors has struggled notably in the latter half of the ongoing 2023/24 Ghana Premier League season.

With just one victory secured in five matches, Kotoko's recent loss to Nations FC on Sunday at the Baba Yara Stadium during Matchday 23 intensified scrutiny on Ogum's future.

This defeat has positioned the team at a discouraging 9th place on the Premier League standings, tallying 32 points.

In light of these disappointing results, speculations are rife that Ogum has a limited window of three upcoming games to reverse the team's fortunes and secure his job.

The upcoming fixtures will see Kotoko facing Bechem United at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park, followed by a home game against Nsoatreman FC at the Baba Yara Stadium. The final match in this crucial period will be against Dreams FC at the Theatre of Dreams in Dawu.

The stakes are high for Ogum, with his future at the club hanging in the balance. His return to Kotoko came amidst a shakeup in the club's management structure, following the dissolution of the management committee and board of directors by the club's life patron, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, and the subsequent establishment of the Interim Management Committee (IMC).
