Hohoe United have parted company with head coach Bashiru Tijani midway through the ongoing Ghana Premier League season.
The decision comes a day after the club played out a goalless draw with regional rivals Heart of Lions in a Matchday 17 encounter at the Hohoe Stadium on Friday.
Tijani guided the Volta-based side through a promising start to their maiden top-flight campaign, collecting eight points from their first five matches, including an impressive draw against Hearts of Oak on opening day.
Hohoe United initially built on their strong home form from the 2024/25 Access Bank Division One League, going three matches unbeaten at home before their run was halted by Aduana FC.
That defeat marked the beginning of a difficult spell, with the club managing just two wins in their last 12 outings. They also endured three consecutive losses before Friday’s stalemate in the Volta derby, extending their winless run to four matches.
The downturn in results ultimately prompted the club to end Tijani’s tenure.
In an official statement released on Saturday and signed by the club’s communications department, Hohoe United confirmed that assistant coach Boniface Ayipah has been appointed 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.
The club also thanked Tijani for his service and contributions during his time in charge.
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.
