Aduana Stars sack coach Yaw Acheampong

Following the defeat to Asante Kotoko, the Ogya Lads have sacked their coach Yaw Acheampong, as reported by Ghana Soccernet.

The former champions have struggled since the start of the new season and find themselves in an early relegation dogfight.

Aduana has been close to winning the title in the last two seasons, and their early form necessitated the sacking of Acheampong, a former Ghana international.

The club has yet to announce his replacement ahead of their trip to Berekum Chelsea next week.
