Some coaches might have bought for themselves time to hang onto their jobs after results in midweek went their way. But anxious supporters would be waiting to see whether some consistency can maintained when league heads into match-day-4 this weekend.
Though early days yet in the premiership, some coaches still remain within the firing range depending on the performances and results chalked by their teams.
One of such persons is Karim Zito of Accra Hearts of Oak, who pulled the club’s first victory in three matches in midweek. Now the Phobians would be away to struggling King Faisal, who are holed up bottom of the table.
