Ghana Premier League outfit Medeama have announced the appointment of Ibrahim Tanko as their new head coach.
The former Black Stars assistant coach replaced Bosnian Nebojsa Kapor, who parted ways with the Yellow and Mauve in December 2024.
Tanko, who recently left Accra Lions signed a two-and-half year deal to join the former Premier League winners.
The UEFA Licence A holder has completed the formalities to begin life in Tarkwa where expectation for success runs extremely high.
“Medeama Sporting Club is pleased to confirm the appointment of Coach Ibrahim Tanko two-and- half year contract. The UEFA license A holder has completed formalities and replaces technical director Augustine Evans Adotey, who reverts to his original role,” a club statement read on Wednesday.
“The former Ghana International is one of the most exciting coaches and brings wealth of experience, standards of excellence, leadership qualities and character to the club. Nicknamed the ‘Bullet’, Tanko joins the Mauve and Yellow after leaving Premier League side Accra Lions where he served as a coach and technical advisor.
“The former Borussia Dortmund star is one of the experienced trainers in the country having worked in Japan’s J League and the Bundesliga. He was also an assistant coach of Cameroon’s Indomitable Lions as well as Ghana’s Black Meteors and Black Galaxies.”
Tanko will face off against Legon Cities in his first match for the club on Sunday February 3, 2025, at the TnA Stadium.
