Former Asante Kotoko coach Steven Polack believes the Porcupine Warriors are not 'adequately prepared' to participate in the CAF Confederations Cup competition.
Asante Kotoko petitioned the Normalization Committee on Tuesday 23 October 2018 to allow them to participate in next season’s CAF confederations cup as winners of the last FA cup competition.
Some football administrators have backed the Porcupine Warriors to participate in Africa but the club's former gaffer said otherwise.
Steven Polack believes the Kumasi-based club are not ready due to lack of competitive games.

“I know Kotoko have signed new players and some have also left after my departure. They may be thinking that these are signs of readiness to participate in Caf inter-club competitions but I disagree," Steven Polack told Kumasi FM.
"At the moment, Kotoko are not playing any competitive games or high-profile friendlies with foreign clubs every week in and out so they are not adequately prepared.
“I believe they must take a second look at their decision because you can't only use friendly games to prepare for such competitions that demands a lot of work,†he concluded.
Kumasi Asante Kotoko fired coach Steven Polack following the club’s exit from the CAF Confederations Cup at the hands of CARA Club of Congo Brazzaville.
