Coach Ibrahim Tanko excited by return of Sulley Muntari, Samuel Inkoom to play in local league

Former assistant Black Stars coach, Ibrahim Tanko has disclosed that he is excited by the return of some players abroad to play in the Ghana Premier League.

According to Coach Ibrahim Tanko, the trend is good for the league and more players should return going forward.

“I am happy with the number of experienced players joining the Ghana Premier League. It’s a good thing we have the likes of Sulley a Muntari and Samuel Inkoom making a return to the league and I expect more players to join. It’s a good opportunity for them to relaunch their career,” the gaffer said as quoted on GhanaWeb.
