The Phobians went three games without a win (D2, L1) and resulted in the sack of their head coach Edward Odoom following a 1-0 defeat to Inter Allies.
But they are back to winning ways following an emphatic 3-0 win over Dreams FC on Sunday and the man that has brought them the winning formula is Kosta Papic on his return to the Accra giants as a coach.
Aduana Stars - two-time League Champions are yet to win a game this term drawing against King Faisal (1-1), Bechem United (0-0) and Techiman Eleven Wonders (1-1). They also lost 1-0 to Elmina Sharks on matchday four. Even though they boast of some of the finest talents on the domestic front, they have been very unimpressive since the commencement of the season.
There is much pressure on coach Paa Kwesi Fabin to deliver looking at the loads of experience players namely Yahaya Mohammed, Bright Adjei, Caleb Amankwaa, Emmanuel Akuoko, Justice Anane, Farouk Adams and Samuel Bio, he has at his disposal.
