Asante Kotoko’s Head of Sporting Affairs, Kwesi Appiah, has stressed the importance of winning the Ghana Premier League (GPL) this season to pay tribute to the club’s life patron, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
In an interview with Akoma 87.9 FM, the former Black Stars coach expressed confidence in the team’s ability to secure the league title and qualify for continental competitions next season.
“I believe the coach understands the importance of ensuring we qualify for Africa next season,” Appiah stated.
Appiah commended the quality of the current squad and acknowledged the significant financial backing from Otumfuo, emphasizing that winning the league would be a fitting way to show appreciation for the King’s support.
“With the talented players we have and the investment Otumfuo is making, winning the league and securing a place in Africa would be a great way to honor him,” he said.
He also expressed satisfaction with the team’s recent performances and remained optimistic about their chances of clinching the title. “We’re playing very well so far, and with God’s help, I’m confident that if we keep fighting, we will win the GPL title,” Appiah added.
Kotoko currently sit sixth on the league table with 28 points, just two points adrift of league leaders Kpando Heart of Lions. With several games remaining, the race for the title remains wide open.
