FC AshantiGold 04 head coach Karim Zito has encouraged Asante Kotoko manager Eric Tinkler to adapt to the conditions in Ghanaian football and stop complaining about the pitch quality. Tinkler recently criticized the poor state of pitches in Ghana after his side's 1-0 pre-season win over Heart of Lions at the University of Ghana Stadium.
Speaking on Akoma FM, Zito advised Tinkler to familiarize himself with the local environment before taking the Asante Kotoko job. Zito noted that the same poor pitches Tinkler has been critical of have not stopped him from achieving success with Kotoko. Despite their disagreement, Zito expressed happiness for Tinkler's celebration following the team's victory in the Democracy Cup, recalling his own emotions when winning trophies.
Kotoko is now set to begin the new Ghana Premier League season, facing off against newcomers Debibi United in their opening match.
