Former Hearts of Oak assistant coach Tijani Abdul Rahim has been tasked to save struggling Ghana Premier League side Legon Cities from relegation.
Legon Cities parted ways with head coach Yaw Acheampong after a string of poor performances in the ongoing season with the Royals recording just a win in eight matches.
Acheampong was appointed in January to replace Paa Kwasi Fabin but has failed to grind the needed results. A slim 1-0 loss to fellow strugglers Basake Holy Stars broke the camel’s back, leading to the departure of the former Ghana international whose rich coaching experience include stints at the defunct AshantiGold, Great Olympics, Aduana Stars, Elmina Sharks and Medeama SC.
Tijani Abdul Rahim is not new to the Legon Cities fold after serving in assistant capacity under ex-Ghana international, Maxwell Konadu. The club is lowly placed, languishing in 17th on the table with just 25 points and seven points back of safety with five matches to draw the curtains on the season.
