Accra Lions Bring Back German Trainer Rainer Kraft as Head Coach
German trainer Rainer Kraft has taken over from former Accra Lions coach Ibrahim Tanko, the club has announced.
The relegation-threatened team in a statement on January 15 said it had agreed on mutual grounds to part ways with Tanko who was appointed as Sporting Director in 2022.
“Accra Lions Football Club announces that Ibrahim Tanko, the head coach of the club, has mutually agreed with the management to step aside.”
He will now be occupied with other important projects, the club said, adding that he has handed over to German trainer Rainer Kraft.
“Accra Lions gained promotion to the Ghana Premier League under Coach Rainer Kraft in his first spell with the club from 2019 to 2021. He returns with vast experience and an understanding of our club’s mission to nurture talent and compete at the highest level in the Ghana Premier League.”
Accra Lions are next to bottom of the league log, holding 13 points from 16 games. They have won just one of the last 12 league games.
Rainer’s will be put to test on Sunday when they face second-placed Bibiani Goldstars at home.
