Former Black Queens coach, Bashiru Hayford has tipped Asante Kotoko to win the ongoing 2023/2024 Ghana Premier League.
Asante Kotoko won the 2021/2022 Ghana Premier League under coach Prosper Narteh Ogum but the Porcupine Warriors finished 5th in last season’s campaign following the departure Ogum.
The Porcupine Warriors didn’t have a great start in the ongoing season with two draws and a defeat but they have won their previous two games in the Ghana Premier League.
Despite the skepticism about the new project, Bashiru Hayford believes Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum’s team will still end the season as champions of the Ghana Premier League.
“They are doing very well at the moment. They have won two games in a row and looking at the league it they are able to win about four games and then go top of the league table, it will be difficult for the other teams to bring them down. So I am praying for Kotoko to go top of the league and you know when Kotoko is on top of the table, it is always hard for other teams to displace them, “Bashiru Hayford said.
“They are doing well. Ogum is someone who frequently calls me to discuss football and all that. He calls me “Uncle”.
“What the team went through in the very first games of the season was normal because it is a new team the coach is forming, it was not like the team was already there. Now they have played five games, people will start seeing the level of Kotoko after the tenth match going,” he added.
