  "summary": "Asante Kotoko head coach Eric Tinkler has expressed his enthusiasm for the pressure that comes with leading one of Ghana’s most successful clubs ahead of his first Ghana Premier League campaign. Tinkler, a South African tactician, believes his experience managing in high-pressure environments during his time in South African football has prepared him to handle the expectations that accompany the Kotoko job. He highlighted his involvement in some of South Africa’s biggest football rivalries as proof of his ability to thrive under intense scrutiny. Tinkler aims to shield his players from excessive pressure and help them perform with confidence, emphasizing the importance of focusing on producing entertaining football rather than being burdened by expectations. Kotoko’s 2026-27 Ghana Premier League season kicks off with an away fixture against newly promoted Debibi United.",
