Ghana Premier League outfit, Accra Lions FC have appointed British tactician James Francis as the club's new head coach on the interim.
The appointment of the gaffer became necessary following the departure of German tactician Rainer Kraft.

“Rainer Kraft had a very successful spell in his two years as Head Coach of Accra Lions Football Club that was crowned with winning the Division One Championship and gaining the Ghana Premier League promotion this year," Chief Executive Officer of the club, Nana Obiri Yeboah said to confirm the departure of the coach.
He added, "We are very grateful for everything he has done to develop our club forward and wish him well for the future. Assistant Coach James Francis will take over as Caretaker Coach with immediate effect.”
Coach James Francis who has been working under the German trainer since June has now been elevated to play the role of the head coach for Accra Lions on the interim.
