Hohoe United sack head coach Bashiru Tijani

Hohoe United FC have fired the head coach of the side, Bashiru Tijani halfway through the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League season.

The decision comes just a day after the club’s goalless stalemate with regional giants Heart of Lions in a Match-day 17 encounter at the Hohoe Stadium on Friday.

Tijani guided the side through a remarkable start to their maiden top-flight campaign, securing eight points from their first five matches, including an impressive draw against Hearts of Oak on opening day.

In an official statement released on Saturday, the club confirmed that assistant coach Boniface Ayipah has been appointed as interim head coach.

“The board of Hohoe United Football Club and the club’s head coach, Bashiru Tijani, have agreed to part ways. In the Interim, the assistant coach Boniface Ayipah will steer the affairs of the club in an acting capacity until the appointment of a substantive coach,” the statement read.

Hohoe United currently sit 15th on the Ghana Premier League table with 18 points, just one point above the relegation zone, and will host Hearts of Oak in their next league fixture.

Bashiru Tijani has had stints with Hearts Of Oak, Great Olympics, Legon Cities and Young Apostles.
