Medeama SC head coach, Ibrahim Tanko Anyars has set sights on the Ghana Premier League trophy next season
Ghanaian Premier League side, Medeama SC’s long pursuit to finishing the 2024/2025 season on a high came to an unexpected failure after concluding the 2024/2025 campaign in 8th place with 50 points from 34 Premier League games.
Inspite of the failure to make it to the top four of the league log in the just concluded season, the Tarkwa-based outfit were a delight to watch under the guidance of ex-Ghana international Ibrahim Tanko.
The former Borussia Dortmund and FC Freiburg attacker was able to shape the two-time Ghana FA Cup winners into a formidable force after signing a two-and-a-half year deal with the side but their quality was not enough to win them any laurels at the end of just concluded season. Tanko, who joined Medeama from now relegated Accra Lions, has set his sights on the Premier League title next season.
“When I came in, the goal was to bring stability and success. We missed out on the top four, and that’s disappointing. But we’re not coming back next season to chase the top four, we’re coming for the title,” Tanko told Graphic Sports.
“There won’t be massive changes, but we need to reassess. Players who are surplus to requirements will either be offloaded or sent out on loan, so we can make space for the right additions.
“We have a good group of players, but we need to add more quality. A centre-back and a striker are definitely priorities,” he said. “The rest will come from the talented young players we already have at the club.”
“I’m here to build something strong and lasting,” he declared. “Next season is not just about improvement, it’s about going for the ultimate prize.”
Medeama recently parted ways with six players, a move that paved way for the 47-year-old coach to revamping his squad for the 2025/2026 Ghana Premier League season.
