Head coach Prosper Narteh Ogum will be heading into the 2024/25 season with plans of winning the Ghana Premier League and the FA Cup.
That said, lots of signings will be made. The Porcupines signed over ten players at the start of the 2023/24 campaign.
Reports of player-coach rift marred Kotoko’s season in the crucial moments and Life Patron Otumfuo Osei Tutu II stepped in to instill unity.
The Reds moved from the relegation spots to finish sixth in the league and for Ogum, a bright and fresh start is expected for next season.
