Exclusive: Legon Cities FC Parts Ways with Head Coach Yaw Acheampong

Legon Cities FC has officially parted ways with head coach Yaw Acheampong following a disappointing run of results in the ongoing Ghana Premier League season. The club announced the decision earlier today, bringing an abrupt end to Acheampong’s short tenure at the helm.

Appointed just a few months ago, Acheampong was tasked with stabilizing the team after a difficult start to the season. However, under his leadership, Legon Cities struggled to find consistent form, managing only a handful of points from several league fixtures. The team currently sits near the relegation zone, prompting the club’s board to act swiftly in an attempt to rescue their campaign.

Sources close to the club revealed that internal discussions had been ongoing for weeks, with growing concerns about the team’s tactical direction and dressing room morale. Though Acheampong’s experience and leadership were initially seen as assets, they ultimately failed to translate into results on the pitch.

The club is expected to announce an interim coach in the coming days as they search for a permanent replacement. In the meantime, assistant coaches are likely to take charge of training sessions and prepare the squad for their upcoming league encounters.

Legon Cities FC remains committed to rebuilding and ensuring survival in the topflight. The club expressed gratitude to Yaw Acheampong for his service and wished him well in his future endeavors.
