Former Asante Kotoko striker, Eric Bekoe has urged his former employers against playing in the Caf Champions League next season.
The Ghana Premier League giants are set to represent Ghana in next season's competition following the cancellation of the 2019/20 by the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Executive Council.
Under normal circumstances, the domestic league winners represent Ghana in the Champions League.
“Kotoko should not accept the opportunity to compete in Africa next season to waste money," Bekoe, who gained prominence with Kotoko in winning the 2007-08 Premier League title and top scorer award, told Opemsuo FM.
"The club is not well-prepared to get a group stage birth which of course will be a waste of resources.
“The Board and the technical team should work fervently to shape the club before they will resolve to compete in Africa.
“For a team to perform majestically in Africa, it comes with a quality crop of players. This Kotoko team is low quality."
Kotoko's campaign in the Champions League in 2019-20 ended disappointingly as they suffered a first-round elimination at the hands of Tunisian fold Etoile du Sahel.
Kotoko last made the group stage of the Champions League in 2006.
The Porcupine Warriors' best continental campaign in recent times came in the 2004 Confederation Cup where they reached the final and lost to country rivals Hearts of Oak in the penalty shoot-out.
