Asante Kotoko interim coach Michael Osei expects the three week rest period in the first half of the Ghana Premier League will only empower his team.

The Porcupine Warriors recovered from a slow start that saw then head coach David Duncan asked to step aside to finish second in the Ghana Premier League.

But having recovered from a slow start to gain momentum Michael Osei says they will move from strength to strength.

“Well the rest will be good for us because it will allow the players to rest,” Michael Osei told Asante Kotoko express

“We have to all ensure that we return in good shape and do all we can to fight for every title.”

Kotoko finished the season on second position after a falling to a lowly 16th after match day six.
