Ibrahim Tanko promises to qualify RTU to premiership

The Head Coach of Real Tamale United (RTU), Ibrahim Tanko, has promised to return the club to the premiership after lack of funds and litigation had forestalled their progress in the past.

The ‘Pride of the North’ sank into relegation in 2011 and have since struggled in vain to restore their Premier League status mainly due to managerial challenges.

In an interview with the Daily Graphic, Coach Tanko said the club was in dire need of money to purchase quality players who could get them back to the top flight.

“Our opponents do not see us as a mere club but regard us as a strong team with our pedigree as former Premier League contenders as we still compete in the second tier of Ghana football,” he noted

“We will be at the front in Division One if the 2020/2021 season comes off to enable us to qualify as we gear up to build a solid team to help fulfil our ambition.

“We are waiting for the restrictions to be lifted by the State to commence serious training ahead of the season,” he said.
RTU were at the 13th position with 11 points before the suspension of football in March.
