Basake Holy Stars are set to unveil a new technical direction following a major shake-up in their technical department, with head coach Johnson Smith and assistant coach Rashad Musah both leaving the club ahead of the 2026/27 Ghana Premier League season.

Smith has departed the Basake-outfit to Nations FC, bringing an end to his spell with the Western Region club after contributing significantly to their continued growth and competitiveness in Ghana’s top flight last campaign.

The experienced trainer’s move to Nations FC marks a new chapter in his coaching career, while Basake Holy Stars are now tasked with finding a suitable replacement capable of maintaining the momentum built under his leadership.

Adding to the changes, assistant coach Rashad Musah has also moved on after accepting a new opportunity with Swedru All Blacks, leaving the club with a completely new technical structure to establish.

The departure of the two key members of the technical team has prompted Basake Holy Stars’ hierarchy to begin work on identifying a new head coach who aligns with the club’s vision, philosophy and long-term ambitions.

The incoming coach will inherit a team that has steadily carved out a reputation as one of the most exciting sides in the Ghana Premier League and will be expected to build on the solid foundation established in recent campaigns.

Basake Holy Stars have been one of the notable success stories in Ghanaian football in recent years, with their rise to the elite division and impressive performances earning widespread recognition.

As preparations for the new season gather pace, the club is expected to announce its new technical direction in the coming days, with supporters keenly awaiting the appointment of a coach capable of leading the team into its next phase of development.

The new appointment will be crucial as Basake Holy Stars seek to consolidate their position in the Ghana Premier League and continue their pursuit of greater achievements on the domestic front.
