Legon Cities unveil Paa Kwesi Fabin as new Head Coach
Legon Cities have unveiled Paa Kwesi Fabin as the new Head Coach of the club ahead of the start of the 2023/24 betPawa Premier League season.
The former Black Starlets trainer has signed a two-year deal with the team.
Fabin, who led Aduana FC to a second-place finish last season, left the club at the end of the season.
At his unveiling on Tuesday, he stated: “After my work with Aduana, I wanted to take a break from football for a while, especially in the Premier League.
![Man United flop Antony our greatest-ever signing —Betis chief ANTONY gave a glimpse against Nottingham Forest as to why Real Betis sporting director Manu Fajardo believes the Manchester United flop might be "the most import¬ant signing" in the club's history. The 25-year-old has been reborn in Andalusia after an underwhelming stint at Old Trafford, where he failed to get anywhere near justifying the lofty fee paid to Ajax three years ago. Antony arrived for an eye-popping €95 million ($111.6m), plus a potential €5m in add-ons, but failed to consis¬tently impress and fell down the pecking order at United. The Brazil international sparkled after joining Betis on loan in January and made the move permanent after protracted talks brought a deadline-day switch for up to €25m. United included a clause that gives them 50% of any future deal for Antony, who followed a smart assist with a late goal to secure a 2-2 draw in Wednesday's Europa League opener against Forest. Betis sporting director Fajardo told the PA news agency: "I am 100% sure that maybe Antony is the most import¬ant signing in Betis' history. "Everything [about the signing] be¬cause the talent, the level of the player, the level of the club as Manchester United a big team, a big project, so I am 100% sure that Antony is the best signing in Betis' history." "In the first moment we spoke with Manchester United for Antony to stay in Betis one year more on loan. "But for Antony, for Manchester it was very, very important to recover the investment, so for Betis it was not easy. The move was so much for us. "But Manchester United made a big effort, Betis made a big effort, Antony made a big, big effort to play here again. Maybe in that situation that was the secret." Betis may not be able to compete with Premier League clubs' financial clout, but they boast talent that Fajardo hopes can see them to push for Europa League glory this season. "For Betis it is not easy to sign players from Premier League, because the dif¬ference in respect to the salary between the Premier League and LaLiga is too big," Fajardo added. "But when a player like Antony, for example, wants to come to Betis it's easier. "Antony only thought to play in Betis again, so when you have a negotiation with a big club in Manchester United, a club that paid a big amount for Antony, it's not easy. But the player wants to play in Betis."-ESPN](https://ghanaiantimes.com.gh/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Antony-220x150.jpg)
However, when Legon Cities contacted me and shared their project, I felt compelled to step in, take over, and guide the team to the level they aspire to reach.
I’m thrilled to be here and ready to face this challenge.”
In the previous season, Legon Cities secured a ninth-place finish under Maxwell Konadu, who has since joined Nsoatreman FC.
The Royals are optimistic that Fabin’s local expertise will yield positive results in the upcoming season and lead the team to a respectable position.
“I believe that there’s no such thing as a low-pressure job in this world. Pressure exists everywhere, but I particularly enjoy working with young players.
This is the objective the team has given me – to bring in a lot of young talents and transform the team into not only buyers, but also sellers of players.
Our aim is to perform well in the league and secure a strong position. While we’re comfortable where we are, we’re open to embracing any opportunities that come our way.”
Paa Kwesi Fabin’s first official match with Legon Cities will take place in September against Karela United on match day one of the 2023/24 league season. –Citisports
