The Phobians were stunned 1-0 by Berekum Chelsea. The defeat followed the President Cup loss at the hands of Asante Kotoko a week to the start of the league.

He has been replaced by Edward Nii Odoom, who starts work with immediate effect. This means he will be on the bench when Hearts travel to Tarkwa for their second game of the season against Medeama.
