Tanko has been urged to concentrate on his duties as head coach of the U-23 team, Black Meteors as they prepare for the Africa U-23 Cup of Nations tournament in Egypt next month.
Joy Sports can also report that Stephen Appiah and Richard Kingston will not be replaced as technical coordinator and goalkeepers trainer respectively contrary to media speculation.

This is after guiding Kotoko to reach the group stage of CAF Confederation Cup and winning the NC Special Cup tier I.
