Great Olympics and  coach Annor Walker part ways

Published on: 18 January 2024

Great Olympics have decided to part ways with head coach Annor Walker ahead of the second round of the Ghana Premier League, due to a disappointing performance in the first round.

Assistant Coach Jimmy Cobblah will take over as interim trainer, a role he has assumed before when he worked with the team before joining FC Samartex 1996.

With 21 points, Olympics is currently ranked 12th in the league table, and the team hopes that the change in leadership will bring about improvement in their performance in upcoming matches.

It's worth noting that Walker had previously led Olympics to a strong position in the top flight two seasons ago, which opened up opportunities for him to become the coach of the Black Galaxies, leading the team's return to the African Nations Championship in Algeria, though they did not advance beyond the group stage in 2022.

Walker is reportedly set to join Olympics' city rivals Hearts of Oak, who are currently without a permanent coach after dismissing Martin Koopman earlier in the season.
