Yaw Acheampong’s tenure as the newly appointed head coach of Legon Cities began on a difficult note as his side suffered a defeat to Hearts of Oak in the Ghana Premier League on Friday night.
Acheampong, who was officially confirmed as head coach just hours before the match, took over the reins of a struggling team that has been without a permanent leader since the resignation of Paa Kwasi Fabin a few months ago.
Despite the promise of a fresh start under new leadership, Legon Cities were unable to reverse their fortunes, extending their losing streak to five games in the ongoing 2024/25 season.
The match against Hearts of Oak underscored the significant challenges Acheampong faces as he attempts to steer the club away from one of its most challenging periods in the top flight.
Looking ahead, Legon Cities will take on Dreams FC in their next league fixture. This encounter presents a vital opportunity for Acheampong and his team to end their poor run, rebuild confidence, and set the foundation for a turnaround in their season.
