The new Kotoko coach’s most recent stint was with Ghana Premier League rivals WAFA SC, a side he managed for a little over 20 months.
Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum guided the Academy Boys to a third-place finish – behind new club Kotoko and champions Hearts of Oak – at the end of the 2020/21 GPL.
He arrives with former Liberty Professionals coach David Ocloo as one of his assistants.
