Hearts of Oak, Asante Kotoko era in Ghana football over – Kassim Mingle

Nations FC coach Kassim Mingle has boldly declared that the era of dominance for traditional powerhouses Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko in Ghana football has come to an end.

According to Mingle, it is now time for other Ghanaian clubs to step up and take the spotlight.

Nations FC, a team that was promoted to the Ghana Premier League this season, has been making waves with their impressive performance.

With 44 points earned so far from 26 games, they have proven themselves to be a force to be reckoned with. Only Samartex, with 49 points, have earned more points this season.

On the other hand, both Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko are on a decline this season. Hearts of Oak currently sit in 9th place, while Asante Kotoko is languishing in 11th place.

Mingle’s confidence in his team’s ability to compete against the traditional giants is evident in his statement.

“We’ve been meeting them and we’ve been beating them so what’s the big deal about it? I did not ask them (Hearts and Kotoko) not to play well.

“They bought a lot of seasoned players, we did not buy seasoned players. It’s time for other teams to improve. Previously, Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko were dominating Ghana football but that era is past and gone,” Mingle told 3 Sports
