Former Hearts of Oak Coach Hamza Obeng Joins Asante Kotoko as Assistant Coach
Asante Kotoko Appoints Hamza Obeng as New Assistant Coach Ahead of 2025/26 Season
Ghanaian football giants Asante Kotoko SC have officially announced the appointment of Hamza Obeng Mohammed as the club’s new assistant coach ahead of the upcoming 2025/26 Ghana football season. Obeng, a respected figure in Ghanaian football circles, has signed a two-year contract with the Porcupine Warriors.
The former Hearts of Oak assistant coach brings with him a wealth of experience and tactical knowledge. During his time at Hearts, Obeng worked closely with head coach Samuel Boadu, helping the team secure a historic domestic double—clinching both the Ghana Premier League title and the MTN FA Cup.
In addition to his assistant coaching role with the senior team, Hamza Obeng will also take charge of Kotoko’s youth development program as the head coach of the Young Porcupine Warriors, the club’s official youth side. This dual role highlights the club’s strategic focus on nurturing homegrown talent while strengthening the senior team’s technical bench.
A statement released by the club read:
“We are pleased to announce the appointment of Hamza Obeng Mohammed as assistant coach for the senior team and head coach for the Young Porcupines for two years.”
Obeng’s most recent success was with Vision FC, where he led the team to promotion into the Ghana Premier League, demonstrating his capability to develop competitive squads and achieve results under pressure.
His appointment comes at a crucial time as Asante Kotoko prepare for the MTN FA Cup final. The Porcupine Warriors are set to face Golden Kick FC this Sunday at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium, in what promises to be a thrilling encounter.
Fans and analysts alike are optimistic that Obeng’s arrival will bolster Kotoko’s chances in the coming season and bring stability and innovation to the coaching staff. His proven track record, especially in youth development and tactical planning, aligns well with Kotoko’s long-term vision of success both domestically and on the continental stage.
With pre-season just around the corner, all eyes will be on Hamza Obeng as he begins his new chapter with one of Ghana’s most decorated football clubs.
