Former Ghana boss Mariano Barreto has been appointed as the new head coach of Asante Kotoko.
The Portuguese tactician makes a return to West Africa 15 years after leaving the Black Stars following a fine start to the 2006 World Cup campaign, and after guiding Ghana's U23 side to the 2004 Athens Olympic Games.
He signed a deal which will keep him with the Porcupine Warriors until the end of next season.
