Coaching changes aplenty in Ghana Premier League

The wind of change is blowing throughout coaching departments across the Ghana Premier League as clubs seek to save sinking seasons.

Traditional giants Kumasi Asante Kotoko and AshantiGold are both on the market for new coaches, while Great Olympics are struggling to install one.

Apart from AshantiGold, where Bashir Hayford resigned quietly through a sarcastic letter, the process has been shrouded in chaos elsewhere.

Tom Strand is set to join Godwin Attram at Accra Great Olympics, but the former Ghana star is refusing to work with the Swede. Meanwhile, Strand, who infamously abandoned Medeama on a trip to South Africa, has been told by some of the club's fans that he is not welcome at Great Olympics, even though he claims he has agreed a two-year deal.

The threat by Olympics fans to chase Strand out of the club sounds like they have been learning lessons from Asante Kotoko, where supporters chased out Zdravko Logarusic last week off the back of a draw against Ebusua Dwarfs.

Now they have installed two former captains in Frimpong Manso and Godwin Ablordey until a permanent appointment is made. The top priority for the Porcupine Warriors is to lure Black Stars assistant Maxwell Konadu back to the club.

AshantiGold are going back to their roots too as they look to wrestle a poor run of form. With Hayford gone, the four-time Ghana champions are set to appoint former AshantiGold and Ghana captain CK Akunnor as their new boss.
