Editor for Kotoko Express newspaper, Jerome Otchere, has revealed that head coach Michael Osei total control of the team has played a major role in the upturn of fortunes for the club.

A rejuvenated Kotoko side have won their last three games in all competitions progressing to the round of 16 in the MTN FA Cup and going just 6 points behind league leaders Wa All Stars in the league.

And Otchere is full of praise for the stand-in coach .

“You can see that Michael Osei now has total and absolute control over the team and his relationship with the players has been very perfect,”  he told Asempa Sports.

“Duncan’s relationship with the players was very bad and you can see that when the team concede in a match, you can see that there is no magic coming from nowhere but now Michael Osei has brought something completely different and the players have trusted his philosophy and it was very obvious against Dreams FC.”

“But it still too early to say Michael Osei will deliver because the season is still young,” Jerome added.

“The win against Dreams FC was a total team effort and the visit Nana Otumfuo Osei II paid to the training grounds, Nana meeting the management and the board boosted the players because the players got to know that they are the only people that can change things for the club and with all these coming together, it has really changed the spirit of the team totally and it has taken the poison out of the team.”

Kotoko’s next game is against New Edubiase at the Baba Yara Stadium before they travel to Accra to face Hearts of Oak in the Super 2 clash.
