Asante Kotoko have dismissed head coach Steve Polack following the club\u2019s exit from the CAF Confederations Cup at the hands of CARA Club of Congo Brazzaville on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Kotoko appointed Polack in May 2017 and he led them to win the 2017 MTN FA Cup after they beat Hearts of Oak 3-1 in Tamale. The feat qualified them to the CAF Confederation Cup.<\/p>\n

The club made the announcement on Friday in a statement signed by its communications director, Obed Acheampong.<\/p>\n

It appears the club\u2019s exit from the Confederation Cup sealed Polack\u2019s fate. In the first leg 1-0 victory, Kotoko missed three penalties and missed another three in the penalty shootout in the second leg leading to the loss and exit.<\/p>\n

Kotoko will face WAFA in the opening week of the 2018 Ghana Premier League season on March 4.<\/p>\n
