Atta Junior in an interview said the attack happened after his side’s 1-0 victory over Dreams at their own backyard.

He disclosed that the team were on their way to the dressing room when the supporters unleashed violence on the coach.

“The doctors told us that he had to be admitted because he was unconscious and had sustained serious injuries. It is now that he has been revived so had to be admitted here. They attacked us because they lost. The security situation was very bad. The police couldn’t make any arrest,” he told GhanaWeb.
