King Faisal to sack Commey and appoint Serbian Slavisa Bozicic as new coach

Following King Faisal’s two defeats from two games in Ghana Premier League, AshesGyamera.com can reveal that Serbian coach Slavisa Bozicic has arrived in the country this week and could be unveiled by the club if negotiations end successfully.

The Kumasi-based club suffered a 4-1 thrashing against Dreams FC in Dawu on opening day and also lost the Ashanti derby 1-0 against Ashanti Gold on Sunday leaving them without a point.

Although, club president Alhaji Karim Grunsah wanted either former coach Steve Pollack or Zdravko Lugarusic to replace underfire manager Anthony Commey, none of them is ready to return to Ghana.

Bozicic is expected to be in the dugout on Sunday when Faisal travel to Dormaa Ahenkro to play in-form Aduana Stars in matchday three.

Although, Commey’s future is unknown, our sources have revealed that a section of the club’s top hierarchy are lobbying for him to be demoted to assistant coach role in order to help the Serbian rather then showing him the exit.

Bozicic will play his first home game against Bechem United on January 14 at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.

Hearts of Oak whipped in Tarkwa, as Kotoko, Aduana, AshGold, Dreams cruise to the top

The Phobians are surprisingly without a single point after two games, raising concerns about their preparations

On Friday, Asante Kotoko made a huge statement of winning the league as they silenced Legon Cities FC with a 3-1 win at the Accra Sports Stadium with a brace from Emmanuel Gyamfi and a beautiful lob from Augustine Okrah.

Inter Allies also claimed a 2-1 win against Bechem United at the same venue on Saturday as they recovered from their opening day humiliation in the hands of Aduana Stars.

But Hearts of Oak are in tatters. Of course, since they are without a point after losing their opening two games of the Ghana Premier League.

After a 1-0 defeat at home to Berekum Chelsea, the Phobians were whipped 3-0 by Medeama on Sunday in Matchday 2 thanks to a brace from Prince Opoku and another strike from Nana Kofi Babil.

In Accra, Aduana Stars left it late to defeat Great Olympics 1-0 with the only goal coming from substitute Nathan Kwasi Richard. The visitors have now chalked 100 per cent in their two games and are on course to win their third league trophy.

In the Ashanti derby in Kumasi, Ashanti Gold had the last laugh when they pipped King Faisal 1-0 thanks to Mubarak Yussif’s late free-kick. The Miners have scored full marks and are yet to concede a goal this season.

Elsewhere in Techiman, Dreams FC gave Eleven Wonders the shock of their lives as they recorded a 1-0 win through Suleman Mohammed’s strike.

Meanwhile, In Sogakope Wafa added to Ebusua Dwarfs’ woes with a 2-0 home win. Goals from Eric Asomani and youngster Daniel Owusu did the damage for the Academy Boys.

In Berekum, Chelsea and Liberty Professionals shared the spoils goalless while Elmina Sharks also dropped points after drawing 1-1 with Karela United.

MATCH REPORT: Legon 1-3 Kotoko: Gyamfi pulls brace as Porcupines come from a trailing end to beat Royals

The midfielder netted a brace as the Porcupine Warriors thrashed the Royals by 3-1 in front of their home supporters

Asante Kotoko displayed a splendid performance after they thrashed Legon Cities FC 3-1 away from home at the Accra Sports Stadium in matchday 2 of Ghana Premier League on Friday.

Before the game, Legon were being cheered on the evidence of their recent powerful branding which has gotten everyone talking on social media, while Kotoko’s were vociferous by virtue of their dominance in the domestic tournaments and other CAF Inter-club competitions.
Very early in the game Emmanuel Gyamfi teared off from his marker on the left wing and produced a cross but the hosts defenders dealt with the attack.
Kotoko kept on pilling pressure as Imoro Ibrahim’s potential goal cross was also headed to corner before the Legonites broke the deadlock against  the run of play through Greek international Papadopoulos Panayotis by the 10th minute.
Romeo Oppong sent in a cross and Panayotis cooly connected the ball for the opener.
However, Kotoko regrouped and Songne Yacouba could have restored parity by the 32nd minute but the Burkinabe striker missed a huge opportunity after being played through by Mudasiru.
A minute later, Yacouba made amends for his earlier miss by setting up Augustine Okrah for the equaliser.
After the break, Kotoko continued from where they left and it eventually paid off. Gyamfi intercepted a pass from Legon’s Suleiman and easily sent his last ditch effort past onrushing goalkeeper Fatau Dauda by 58th minute.
The midfielder made it 3-1 ten minutes later after he connected a cross from Yacouba into the yawning net.
Although, Legon pushed for a goal in their attempt to at least get a draw, Kotoko defence were resolute to record their second win in a row and now top the log with six points.
