Medeama coach Ibrahim Tanko targets improved performance next season
Medeama SC head coach, Ibrahim Tanko, has pledged to improve the performance of his side after falling short of their target in the recently concluded season.
The Yellow and Mauve side finished the 2024/25 Ghana Premier League at the 8th position with 50 points.
Reflecting on their campaign, Tanko insisted that the target for the next campaign is much more ambitious.
“If we’d finished in the top four, I would have deserved it based on our home and away performance, but we fell short. So we are going to prepare for next season, not for the top four but for the league title itself,” he told the club website.
The former Accra Lions gaffer also described their final home defeat — their only home loss of the season — as a huge disappointment and a wake-up call for the future. To address these issues, the coach revealed plans to offload some players and bring in reinforcements.
“Massive changes, not, but we have to reassess the squad. Players who are surplus to requirements will be offloaded or put out on loan to create space for a few additional signings.”
Tanko identified a centre-back and a striker as key areas that need strengthening.
“We have good players, but adding more quality will make us a stronger team. So I will bring in a centre-back and a striker. The rest will come from the talented young players we already have in the squad.”
Meanwhile, the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League has been scheduled to kick off on September 26.
