The league still remains an open league - Razak Abdul Karim

The ex-Kumasi Asante Kotoko coach, Razak Abdul Karim, says the ongoing Ghana Premier League could be won by all the top clubs chasing for the league title this season.

The one-time African footballer of the year believes the 2015-2016 GPL trophy could be annexed by all the clubs gunning for the accolade since the start of the top-flight season.

The 60-year-old believes the inconsistency regarding points accumulation by the title contenders in the ongoing league is a clear indication that the league diadem could go to any of them.

"All the clubs chasing for the league title this season can win it," Razak told Kickgh.com in an exclusive interview. "

"This is because all of them are winning at home and are not doing so in away matches.You can't win the league without being consistent in accumulating more points,"

"So, if all of them are getting the results at home, I think they all stand the better chance of winning this year's league. I keep on saying this since they started the league and up to now, things haven't changed, when I say the trophy can go to any of them; I think I'm not wrong," he emphasised.

However, the 1978 Nations Cup winner has revealed his readiness to handle any club be it local or foreign as he is currently unattached with any club.

"I'm currently available to any club that feels can work with me.It could be either a foreign club or a local club,"

"But, before joining any club, I'll prefer to have the needed logistics that may aid me to be successful as well as honouring contractual terms between the two of us,"

"Without a conducive environment and sound mind in the coaching job, it will be difficult for me to achieve my aim with any club that I'll join," he pointed out.

Kumasi Asante Kotoko won the 2003 GPL under the tutelage of Razak Abdul Karim as the manager.
