“Kim Grant has made two additions to his Technical Team with Ben Hanson coming in as first team coach and Eric Acquah as a physiotherapist. We welcome them to the Phobia family and call for support from all Phobians for these two professionals. #AHOSC” the tweet read.

Hanson is expected to replace Coach Seth Hoffman who was the assistant to Grant but took charge of the club following the departure of Coach Henry Wellington who was fired in June 2018.

Until Coach Grant was appointed in December 2018, Hoffman had been in charge of the club but the club sidestepped him to appoint the former Elmina Sharks director.

Upon assumption as the substantive coach, Kim Grant, stated that he was going to access his backroom staff and whoever feel behind the required standard would be axed.

Following that, Hoffman who was deputizing for Grant was shown the exit in January which was confirmed on the club’s twitter handle.
