The club ended last season empty-handed after missing out on the Ghana Premier League title and the MTN FA Cup. Kotoko is close to the signing of 2019/2020 Ugandan Premier League top scorer Steven Mukwala from Ugandan top-flight side Revenue Authority (URA FC). The club was intent on acquiring the signature of the striker last season but they failed to reach an agreement with his club before he joined Revenue Authority FC. It was after the abortive Kotoko move that the 22 year old Mukwala joined Revenue Authority FC were he scored 14 goals for them and ended the season as the third best striker in Uganda. He was behind Vipers SC forward Yunus Ssentamu and Erick Kambale from Express FC who registered 16 and 15 goals respectively.
