Vision FC Head Coach, Nana Kweku Agyemang, has emphatically dismissed any fears of relegation, insisting that his side will maintain their place in the Ghana Premier League despite a mixed run of results in their debut season.

Despite struggling for consistency, particularly at home where they have dropped crucial points, Coach Agyemang remains resolute that Vision FC will weather the storm and stay in the top flight.

After 23 matches, the team sits 13th on the league table with 25 points, having won five, drawn 10, and lost eight. 

Their home form at the Nii Adjei Krakue II Sports Complex in Tema has yielded four wins, six draws and one defeat, while their away performances have been less inspiring—one win, four draws and seven losses.

However, Coach Agyemang refused to entertain any thoughts of relegation. Speaking after Vision FC’s 1-1 draw with Nations FC in Tema last Sunday, he delivered a defiant message to fans and critics alike.

“I am a coach, and I hate losing. There is no way I am leading this team to relegation—it’s not going to happen! I promise the fans, we came to stay, and that’s exactly what we’re going to do. I haven’t even thought about relegation; I don’t entertain negative thoughts,” he declared.

Early target

At the start of the season, the gaffer set ambitious targets, aimed at not just for survival but also a strong FA Cup campaign and a push for a top-four finish. He believes that with better finishing, his side could be in the top half of the table.

“If we had converted our chances, we would be in the top four by now. But that’s football. My job is to go back, work harder, and fix things. I take full responsibility, and I assure you, we will come back stronger. Relegation? A big no!” he asserted.

The coach stressed the importance of boosting his players’ confidence and refining their tactical, psychological and physical attributes.

“Our job as coaches is to prepare the players—to help them gain confidence and improve tactically, physically and mentally. We push them hard in training, and the goals they score there are incredible. They just need to translate that into match situations. But at the end of the day, the responsibility falls on me as head coach, and I own it,” he said.

Coach Agyemang cited the team’s recent game against Legon Cities as an example of their struggles in front of goal.

“We dominated possession, playing about 54 to 55 per cent of the game. We created far more chances than they did, but our conversion rate was poor. That’s where we need to improve,” he admitted.
