Aduana Stars coach Yusif Abubakar has been fired, less than eight months after guiding the Dormaa club to their second Ghana Premier League title.
The former Hearts of Oak coach has paid the price for a hugely unconvincing campaign that has left his side, in the relegation zone, a position considered untenable by the Aduana hierarchy.
Aduana Stars have been poor in their title defence as they lie 14th with 14 points out of a possible 33 points, having played four games less due to their involvement in CAF Confederation Cup.
His sacking had been on the cards after he fell out with the supporters last month. He was attacked by two angry fans after Aduana failed to beat Raja Casablanca in Dormaa.
Joy Sports understands, his position will be taken by former Hearts of Oak coach Frank Nuttal.
The Scottish trainer was sacked prior to the start of the season for unsporting and unethical behaviour.
