Sergio Won"t Replace Kenichi - Sowah

Hearts of Oak has rubbished reports that Portuguese trainer, Sergio Daniel Tranguil will succeed Kenichi Yatsuhashi after the Japanese mutually parted ways with the club on Monday.

There are media reports that the Portuguese coach was brought into the country to take over from Kenichi Yatsuhashi even before the Japanese American mutually parted ways with the Phobians.

But Strategic Committee Chairman Vincent Sowah Odotei has poured ice on those rumours.

“We must put it on record that Sergio was not employed to take over from Kenichi as it’s been reported in the media,” Mr. Vincent Odotei told Asempa FM.

“Kenichi was fully in charge of the first team before we mutually parted ways due to his engagement in next month and we felt cannot cope in his absence.

“We at Hearts of Oak think the reason why our standard of play has fallen, we believe is because we lacked that quality because of the death of colts football.

“We believe to invest in the game, any player that will graduate from Royal Oaks and Auroras must have the right training hence the appointment of Sergio.”

Sergio will be in charge of the Royal Oaks which is the Clubs U-17 team as well as Auroras which is the Club’s U-20 team, according to Hearts of Oak.

However, Sportscrusader.com can confirm that the 35-year old will sign a 3-year deal today (Tuesday) and take over from Kenichi Yatsushashi as coach of the senior team.

C.K Warn Dreams

Manager C.K Akonnor is calling on his players to minimize their mistakes and be proficient against New Edubiase United on Thursday.

Dreams FC twice threw away a two goal lead to draw 2-2 in their last two home games against Liberty Professionals and Medeama SC respectively.

The development has affected team’s morale going into the match but Akonnor believes a proficient attitude can secure the three points against the Obuasi lads at the Len Clay Stadium.

“We are generally not a bad side. We play well and create chances in all the games,” Akonnor told dreamsfc.com.

“It’s been a bad feeling in the last two games against Liberty and Medeama. The players sometimes become tensed and as a result commit mistakes that cost the team.

“But all the same we can do the business against New Edubiase. We have a lot of respect for them because they have experience in the League.

“I believe that when we make the right decisions and minimize our mistakes, we can win the game against New Edubiase” C.K Akonnor concluded.
