Controversy-laden First Division Inland Stream side FC AK have decided against appointing a new coach despite several coaches wanting the job that was vacated by Ali Akan last month.

Instead, FC AK has chosen to set up a technical committee that has been tasked with coaching matters.

Akan left under a cloud after allegations of money problems at the club in recent months.

Former assistant coach Thomas Kojo, who has been standing in as a caretaker coach, will continue to work as one of the coaches although Grant Fernandez has been brought in to help.

Fernandez formerly worked at All Nations.

Goalkeeper coach Hewitt Klassen retains his post as goalkeeper coach.

"We have decided against appointing a new coach at this stage. You have to realise that a new coach will always bring in his own new ideas which might take time to bring results, yet we are aiming to feature in the promotional play-offs. We have technical expertise that comes in to help with various aspects at training," says club CEO Gene Petersen.

Though FC AK make mention of aiming for the play-offs, their first priority is to move away from the second of the bottom spot that they currently occupy, having only 12 points from the same number of games.

FC AK players are already hard at training preparing for the tricky fixture away at Tuks on Saturday night.
