Asante Kotoko's poor season became further evident on Wednesday with the club's management placing head coach, Paa Kwesi Fabin on leave.

The former Heart of Lions coach will be on a six-week leave with the Glo Premier League left with six crucial games to go.

Coach Fabin is expected to return to the fold of the Porcupine Warriors come the end of the season with Kotoko presently lying 10th on the table.

The decision was taken after Kotoko could only draw 1-1 with Heart of Lions leaving them with a just two points from their last four games.

Newly-appointed assistant coach, Johnson Smith will take charge of the remaining six matches in the league.
