AshantiGold appoints Abdul Karim Zito as head coach
24th February 2026
AshantiGold SC have appointed experienced coach Abdul Karim Zito as their new head coach as the club push for a return to the Ghana Premier League.
The Miners currently sit top of Division One League Zone Two with 40 points from 22 matches, holding a slender three-point advantage over Ebusua Dwarfs FC. With promotion firmly in sight, the club has turned to Zito to guide them through the decisive phase of the season.
Zito recently stepped down from his role at Asante Kotoko SC following the club’s elimination from the MTN FA Cup. Now, he takes on a fresh challenge with AshantiGold, aiming to maintain their momentum at the summit of the table.
The appointment sets up a potentially compelling storyline next season. Should Zito succeed in leading AshantiGold back to the top flight, he could find himself facing his former side Kotoko in the Ghana Premier League.
For now, the focus remains on securing promotion, and with an experienced hand at the helm, AshantiGold will believe they have strengthened their chances of completing the job.
