Legon Cities have relieved head coach Yaw Acheampong
Legon Cities have relieved head coach Yaw Acheampong of his duties as the club battles to avoid relegation from the Ghana Premier League.
Acheampong was appointed in January to replace Paa Kwasi Fabin but has failed to inspire a turnaround, with a string of disappointing results compounding the club’s struggles.
His latest setback, a narrow 1-0 loss to fellow strugglers Basake Holy Stars, sealed his fate.
The club, which had hoped his experience would inject life into the side, now sits 17th on the table with just 25 points, five matches to go, and an uphill task to avoid the drop.
Acheampong’s appointment had been met with cautious optimism, despite his earlier dismissal from Aduana Stars earlier in the season. However, the gamble has not paid off.
In a swift response, Legon Cities have turned to Tijani Abdul Rahim, a former assistant to Maxwell Konadu and ex-head coach of Division One side Young Apostles.
He will now be tasked with keeping the Royals in the top flight.
