Former Asante Kotoko player and General Manager, Samuel Opoku Nti, has voiced strong confidence in the club’s prospects for the upcoming Ghana Premier League season, expressing his belief that the team’s recent recruitment could lead them to league triumph.
Opoku Nti, who famously scored the goal that secured Kotoko’s last CAF Champions League title in 1983, praised the club’s new signings, stating that their blend of individual talent and teamwork makes them well-positioned for success.
“I will be shocked if they (Kotoko) don’t win the league, given the team they have assembled,” he remarked.
He emphasised the importance of both individual skill and collective effort, noting that the current squad possesses the maturity and capability to excel without needing constant direction from the coach. “These days, both individual talent and teamwork are crucial. Sometimes the coach doesn’t need to give orders; you need players who are mature enough to step up and support the team when called upon,” Opoku Nti added.
Following a disappointing season where they finished sixth, Kotoko have significantly revamped their squad, parting ways with over 20 players and bringing in eleven new recruits.
The club is in the midst of their pre-season preparations, which include a friendly match against Medeama SC on Friday, August 16, at the new TNA Stadium.
Opoku Nti’s confidence is reflected in the team’s efforts to build a formidable lineup ahead of the new campaign, and his remarks suggest that he expects a successful season for the Porcupine Warriors.
