These players struggled throughout last season, and coach Prosper Ogum has decided to release them as he looks forward to making significant changes for the next season.
Kotoko finished in sixth place after a challenging season, including a seven-match winless streak, leading to a crucial meeting with club owner Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
This meeting helped stabilize the team and resulted in key victories, including a 2-0 win against rivals Hearts of Oak.
The club ended the season without a trophy, prompting a major overhaul of the squad to improve performance in the upcoming season.
Kotoko are expected to make several signings, with early links to goalkeeper Benjamin Asare, who won the Golden Glove after keeping 17 clean sheets. Despite Asare’s impressive performance, his club, Great Olympics, were relegated.
