Asante Kotoko head coach Eric Tinkler expressed confidence that his team can contend for the Ghana Premier League title in the upcoming 2026-27 season. The club recently claimed a 1-0 pre-season friendly victory over Heart of Lions at the University of Ghana Stadium. Tinkler, with experience from managing clubs like SuperSport United and Orlando Pirates, emphasized his primary goal is to ensure Kotoko maintain a high level of performance throughout the league campaign.
While a top-two finish serves as a key target, the 54-year-old firmly believes the Porcupine Warriors possess the necessary talent to challenge for the championship. Tinkler highlighted that their final preparatory match will be a crucial cup game against Hearts of Oak, which he treats as a preparatory game for the league. As Kotoko fine-tunes their squad ahead of the new campaign, the 2026 Democracy Cup final test against another rival, Hearts of Oak, will serve as an essential opportunity to prepare players for the league's demands.
The Porcupine Warriors kick off their 2026-27 Ghana Premier League season away to newly promoted Debibi United.
