Karela United, a Ghana Premier League side, has announced the appointment of Abukari Damba as their interim head coach, following the resignation of Shaibu Ibrahim Tanko. This move comes after the team’s tough start to the season, which has left them in the relegation zone.
Abukari Damba, a former Ghana Black Stars goalkeeper turned coach, will take on the responsibility of leading the team until a permanent replacement is found. The club’s management has expressed confidence in Damba’s ability to oversee the technical aspects of the team during this transition period.
Karela United has struggled to secure favorable results in the first half of the season, currently sitting in the 17th position, just one point away from the safety zone. With only 17 points from 17 games, the team is gearing up for a crucial second round of the Ghana Premier League.
The team is now preparing for their upcoming match against Legon Cities at the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium on February 25. The appointment of Abukari Damba signals a new chapter for Karela United as they strive to turn their season around and avoid relegation.
