Asante Kotoko promise major rebuild after disappointing 8th-place finish

Asante Kotoko have pledged a major reset following a disappointing 2025/26 Ghana Premier League campaign that saw the club finish in 8th position.

In a statement released on Monday, May 25, 2026, the Kumasi-based giants admitted the result fell far short of expectations, stressing that it does not reflect the club’s tradition, ambition, or standing in Ghanaian football.

The club acknowledged that while setbacks are part of the game, urgent steps will now be taken to restore Kotoko to its usual level of competitiveness and dominance.

Despite the underwhelming finish, management expressed gratitude to supporters nationwide for their loyalty throughout a difficult season, describing them as the foundation of the club. They also issued an apology for the inconsistency and frustration experienced on the pitch.

Kotoko further assured fans that a comprehensive rebuilding process is underway, aimed at returning the club to the summit of Ghanaian football and re-establishing a strong presence on the continental stage.

The statement ended with a call for unity and patience, with the club insisting that lessons from the season will shape future planning and performance improvements.
