Speaking to Kotoko media ahead of the big game, Karim Zito talked about his time with Didi Dramani at Kotoko that yielded a league title win and youth league title win twice with Dramani as head coach of the main team and Zito as the youth team head coach.

“The telepathy between us [me and Didi Dramani] worked a lot because when you look at the result we chalked…it tells you the way we were at that time.”
