Former board chairman of Accra Hearts of Oak, Commodore Mensah has said he never doubted the abilities of Kenichi Yatsuhashi to lead the team.
Kenichi Yatsuhashi was appointed to replace Herbert Addo and football connoisseurs questioned the board’s decision to appoint a ‘novice’ to lead such a traditional club and prophesied that he will fail.
Their words were on the right path when the team recorded unimpressive run in their preseason preparations, winning only two matches.
Fans and other board members, notably Nyaho Nyaho Tamakloe called for his sacking having previously backed him with claims that ‘long CV’s don’t win matches,’ and that his work can’t bring immediate success.
The former Aspire Academy players development coach has won two matches in succession in the Ghana Premier league against New Edubiase and Medeama SC at the Accra Sports Stadium and Tarkwa T & A park respectively.
And Commodore Mensah, who resigned in December last year after serving for the club for over 30-years, says he always believed Kenichi Yatsuhashi will come good.
“My first encounter with the coach on the board, he left me in no doubt, I was ready to invest my hope and trust in him till I resigned,” Commodore Mensah ttold Starr FM.
“The roles of coaches in clubs are very important and they can’t succeed without the support from the playing body, management and maybe mother luck, with these three things he will deliver,” he noted.
