Bashiru Hayford has become the first coaching casualty five matches into the new premier league season.

Bashiru Hayford has failed to train his Power team for five months due to his commitment to the national under-17 team, the Black Starlets.

The club has gone five games without a win, the worst in their fifth consecutive campaign in the premier league.

Things came to a head this afternoon when at the Tema Park, Power were beaten 2-1 by Tema Youth.

The club’s CEO, Emmanuel Adotey confirmed the change in technical structure after Thursday’s defeat.

Power FC are expected to name Bashiru Hayford’s replacement by next Tuesday.
