Kotoko coach Seydou Zerbo will NOT be back on the touchline to face Samartex this weekend

Asante Kotoko head coach, Seydou Zerbo will miss the club’s away trip to Samreboi on Saturday.

The Porcupines will take on the Premier League debutants, Samartex in a Premier League matchweek 22 fixture. However, Zerbo is unavailable for the game after his trip back to his homeland, Burkina Faso for his son’s burial.

The 59-year-old had his 10-year-old Mamadou lost his life due to complications after a Heart surgery. 

The club granted Seydou Zerbo a two-weeks off-duty to supervise his son’s burial and cool off his head after returning to the touchline and is expected to return to his duties at the club next week.

In his absence, assistant coach Orlando Wellington who has been training with the side since the depature of Zerbo last week will be in charge on Saturday against Samartex.

The Porcupines will aim for a win over the Timber boys to move them further up the league log.
