The Club can today announce that Rainer Kraft has left his role as Head Coach at Accra Lions. Mr. Kraft has been relieved from his duties to return to Germany for personal reasons. He will continue to assist the club as a Consultant.
Nana Obiri Yeboah, CEO of Accra Lions said: “Rainer Kraft had a very successful spell in his two years as Head Coach of Accra Lions Football Club that was crowned with winning the Division One Championship and gaining the Ghana Premier League promotion this year. We are very grateful for everything he has done to develop our club forward and wish him well for the future.“
Assistant Coach James Francis will take over as Caretaker Coach with immediate effect.
However, in their debut Premier League season, the Lions have won two matches after round six, drawing just one with three defeats which happened against Great Olympics, Dreams FC and Bibiani Gold Stars. However, they nipped on Frederick Asante’s lone goal to beat Eleven Wonders in their last game and will play as guest to Karela United at Anyinase in week 7 of the ongoing campaign.
