Tinkler, 55, was last in charge of Babina Noko but was dismissed in April following a drop in performances in the second half of the season.
Kotoko made the announcement on Friday afternoon.
Sekhukhune were Tinkler’s sixth club in South Africa after he started at Pirates, before moving to Cape Town City, SuperSport United, Chippa United, Maritzburg United and a second stint at City.
He won the Telkom Knockout with the Citizens in 2016/17 and the MTN8 with SuperSport the following season. Many remember Tinkler’s early achievements at the Buccaneers who he guided to the CAF Confederation Cup final in 2015, where they lost 2-1 on aggregate to Étoile du Sahel.
The Porcupine Warriors are the record champions in Ghana with 25 titles but last won the Premier League in 2021/22, finishing only in 10th last campaign.
