In a dramatic turn of events, Sekondi Eleven Wise FC supporters have taken matters into their own hands, sacking head coach Malik and appointing Benjamin Hayford as his replacement. The decision comes after the club’s poor run of form in the Ghana Division One League, where they currently sit at the bottom of the table.
The Eleven Wise Die Hard Supporters group, frustrated by the team’s struggles, made the bold move to dismiss Malick and usher in Benjamin Hayford, an experienced coach with past stints at Sekondi Hasaacas and other Ghanaian clubs.
Club Statement on Hayford’s Appointment
Following the announcement, Sekondi Eleven Wise FC officially confirmed Hayford as their new head coach, stating that his expertise and experience will be crucial in steering the team away from relegation.
The club also revealed that the entire current coaching staff has been asked to step aside to allow Hayford to assemble his own technical team.
“We express our gratitude to the outgoing coaches for their service and wish them well in their future endeavors,” the club said in a statement.
Supporters Demand Immediate Change
Supporters, who have grown increasingly frustrated with the club’s performance, stormed the team’s training ground earlier this week, demanding answers from CEO Dr. Kobby Spio-Garbrah over the team’s poor showing. With only three wins in 15 matches, fans feared relegation to Division Two and insisted on immediate changes.
Their influence seems to have forced management’s hand, with Hayford now tasked with leading the team to safety.
What’s Next for Eleven Wise?
With Hayford at the helm, Eleven Wise faces a crucial few weeks as they look to climb out of the relegation zone. The club has called on supporters to remain patient and rally behind the new coach in this crucial period.
Whether this fan-led decision will spark a turnaround remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the supporters of Sekondi Eleven Wise are not willing to watch their club fade away without a fight.
