Head Coach for Nigerian side Kano Pillars, Ibrahim Musah has declared that his side has a better chance of eliminating Kumasi Asante Kotoko from the CAF Champions League when the two meet at the preliminary stage.
The Ghana Premier League giant will face a tough challenge when they begin their campaign in the 2019/2020 CAF Champions League. They are set to play the Nigerian heavyweights in a two-legged tie as they seek to progress into the group stage.
Speaking to Kumasi based Oyerepa FM in a phone interview from Nigeria, Coach Ibrahim Musah stressed that Kano Pillars looks the better side to eliminate Kotoko and they will do their best to beat them over the two legs.
“We have a brighter chance of eliminating Asante Kotoko. We are going to do our best”, the gaffer said.
He added, “I have heard about the team but don't know much about Kotoko. We are not scared about Kotoko, what you bring presently is more important than success achieved years ago”.
“We just concluded our league in Nigeria, we are preparing very well because we are going to meet a great team in Ghana”.
The first leg of the tie has been slated for Sunday, August 10, 2019, at the Sani Abacha Stadium.
