Alexander Ababio labels Petros Koukouras' pitch remarks as reckless

Alexander Ababio, the Chief Executive Officer of Debibi United, has issued a sharp rebuttal to Bibiani GoldStars head coach Petros Koukouras following controversial remarks about the condition of the Debibi Presby Park. The dispute arose after Debibi United secured a 1-0 victory over GoldStars, after which Koukouras reportedly likened the pitch to a "cassava farm." Ababio has since described these comments as reckless and unreasonable, defending the integrity of his club's home ground.

The CEO expressed disappointment in the coach’s choice of words, urging Koukouras to prioritize his professional coaching duties and tactical assessments over public criticism of stadium facilities. According to Ababio, such descriptions are inappropriate and do not reflect the professional standards expected in the Ghana Premier League. He suggested that the coach should focus on his team's performance rather than searching for excuses following a match defeat.

Beyond the exchange of words, Ababio emphasized that Debibi United remains focused on its primary objective of retaining its top-flight status. Despite early-season struggles, the CEO remains confident in the club's ability to compete and maintain its position in the league. The team is now preparing for a significant fixture against Hearts of Oak, where they hope to build on the momentum of their recent victory and continue their push for survival in the domestic campaign.
