Former Asante Kotoko captain Danlad Ibrahim has denied reports of a strained relationship with coach Prosper Narteh Ogum, insisting that he has no issue with the Porcupine Warriors tactician.
The Ghana youth international had ended his eight-year spell with the club following the expiration of his contract.
Earlier reports suggested that Danlad’s departure from the club was due to a rift with the coach, specifically due to losing his number one spot to Frederick Asare in the just concluded season.
However, in an interview with Onua TV, Danlad rubbished these reports, stating that his exit from Kotoko was a joint decision made with the coach, the Inter-Mandatory Committee (IMC), and himself.
“I want to clarify that I have no issue with Coach Ogum. He understands me and knows my capabilities. Again, he knows how I helped the team off the pitch. My exit from Kotoko isn’t solely Ogum’s decision. My decision to quit the club is a joint one with the coach, the IMC, and myself. We reached a responsible conclusion and decided it was time for me to leave the club,” Danlad said.
“No one knows what transpired before my departure so they have every right to say anything but truth be told, I have no issue with coach Ogum. As a player you can never have issues with your coach because you never know where you will again”
The experienced goalkeeper is now expected to find a new club before the commencement of the 2024/25 football season.
