However, Chief Executive James Essilfie has urged the club supporters to measure their expectations
“It’s important for our fans to measure their weight of expectation on the team this season,” Essilfie told the club website.
“We have a new coach and he will need time to get everything right. We don’t want to put pressure on him and the players. This is a very demanding club but it’s important to be realistic in the scheme of things.
“We have a good squad capable of competing but we need time for them to jell,” he added.
Medeama will host Bibian Gold Stars in the matchday 2 games at the Cape Coast Stadium on Sunday.
