Former Asante Kotoko goalkeeper Eric Nii Baah has officially rejoined the club, this time in a coaching role, as the goalkeeping coach for the reserve team, the Young Porcupines.
Nii Baah, widely regarded as one of the finest goalkeepers to have played for the Reds, makes his return over a decade after leaving the club in 2010.
His appointment comes as part of an ongoing restructuring process within the club’s technical setup aimed at strengthening its developmental structures.
The former Black Meteors shot-stopper brings a wealth of experience to the role, having previously served as goalkeepers’ trainer at lower-tier side Phar Rangers.
His coaching journey, combined with his playing career—which included notable spells at BA United and New Edubiase United—has equipped him with the expertise to guide the next generation of Kotoko goalkeepers.
Club sources indicate that his return is strategic, with the management keen on infusing experienced former players into key technical positions to support the growth of the club’s youth ranks.
Nii Baah is expected to play a crucial role in grooming young goalkeepers, helping them develop the technical skills, discipline, and mindset needed to succeed at the highest level. His appointment signals Kotoko’s renewed commitment to building a strong foundation for the future by investing in its youth system.
