Kotoko failed to win any piece of silverware last season, having finished second to rivals Hearts of Oak in the league.
The Kumasi-based side also suffered a disappointing exit FA Cup after losing to Medeama in the quarter-finals.
Meanwhile, new Kotoko coach Prosper Narteh Ogum has pledged to make the club the best on the continent.

The 43-year-old joined the Porcupine Warriors from the West Africa Football Academy (WAFA) last month.
“I will do my best to make Asante Kotoko Sporting Club the best club in Ghana, Africa and the world,” he said, as quoted by Ghanaweb.
“I am awfully grateful for this opportunity to serve such a great club Kumasi Asante Kotoko. Everyone will be happy.
“I would like to use this opportunity to thank you all for your congratulatory messages, compliments and best wishes. I’m very grateful. Thanks to HRM Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Board, Management and supporters for reposing trust in me.”
