Dr. Patrick Ofori, former psychologist of Kumasi Asante Kotoko has insisted that the acting head coach of the club Michael Osei lacks emotional maturity to lead the club as a substantive coach.
Many have advocated that the former New Edubiase assistant trainer be confirmed as a substantive coach following the departure of David Duncan.
But with recent reports that Michael Osei wept after his side’s 4-1 thrashing by Ebusua Dwarfs, being the second time he has wept after a game, the first time being in Liberia, the former psychologists says he is not ripe for the job.
Kotoko has not secured a win in the Ghana Premier League in their last four outings.
“I heard him confirm that he himself was in tears, crying and wailing in front of his players. That’s a no for any coach.”
“Because he is suppose to hold fort and show that emotional maturity and show that aspect of self-awareness.”
“I strongly believe that aside been a true supporter of the club, there is a lot of pressure on him to deliver so that he can secure the job,” he told Starr FM Sports.
Dr. Patrick Ofori, also a former Black Stars psychologist, expects Michael Osei to show more emotional maturity as the trainer of Kotoko.
