Kotoko midfielder Michael Akuffu is worried about the team’s unfavorable results in recent times.

Kotoko have been unable to secure a win in their last four games in the Ghana Premier League, a result which have forced management to sack head Coach Zdravko Lugarosic.

Lugarosic emerged as the sacrificial lamp after strings of bad results.

Akuffu believes luck has eluded them amounting to their failure to earn valuable points in recent games.

“My spirit is very down because of what is happening in Kotoko. Things are difficult for us now but we need the support of the fans at this time,” Akuffu bemoaned on Kumasi-based Abusua FM.

“I don’t want anybody to think that,the players sabotaged Luga but it is due to hard luck. I always gather the players and advised them that, they should do their best to make the supporters happy because when there is a disgrace, it goes to the whole team not one person.”

“I am surprised about the team’s performance because I have never heard anybody complaining about a problem before, management is not owing anybody and I want to appeal to the fans that we need their support to succeed."

Assistant Coach Godwin Ablordey is now in charge as the stop-gap Coach until further notice.
