GPL 2024/25: Asare Bediako resigns as Young Apostles coach after poor start

Ghana Premier League debutants Young Apostles are on the hunt for a new head coach after Asare Bediako tendered in his resignation on Monday afternoon.

Monday’s resignation ends a one-year stay at the Wenchi-based side, after securing a historic promotion to the Ghana Premier League in July.

His resignation follows Sunday’s goalless draw with league leaders Bibiani Gold Stars at the Nana Abrefa VII Stadium in Wenchi.

In all, Bediako won two matches, lost four, and recorded four draws in ten league matches.

Asare Bediako’s Young Apostles have endured a difficult start to the Ghana Premier League

Bediako’s Premier League experience sharply contrasts with his exploits in the lower division.

Shortly after taking charge of the team in January 2024, Bediako qualified Young Apostles Zone One playoff after finishing top of the Division One League in Zone One A.

In the playoff, he led Apostles to a memorable win over Techiman Heroes at the Accra Sports Stadium.

The penalty shoot-out win sealed Apostles’ qualification to the Ghana Premier League for the first time in the club’s history.
