Karela coach urges Kotoko to strengthen squad before Champions League

Defeated Karela United coach Johnson Smith has urged Asante Kotoko to strengthen their squad for the CAF Champions League campaign.

Asante Kotoko managed to win 4-1 on penalties against the Aiyinase side after a 1-1 stalemate in regulation time.

And despite losing, the Karela United manager believes Kotoko have a lot of work to do to compete in the Champions League.

“They have a good side but they will need to strengthen the side to be better for the Champions League. It’s a tough competition,” he said.
