Under-fire Accra Hearts of Oak coach, Kenichi Yatsuashi has told Sportscrusader.com that it has been a bitter-sweet debut season in the Ghana Premier League (GPL) for him.
The Japanese-American started life to Ghana football on a high note with no defeats in his first five games in the GPL a hiss side accrued 13-points from a possible 15.
And this changed the views of many fans and critics alike who had questioned the appointment of the spiky-haired tactician who was unknown to Ghana football before his arrival in the country.
Coach Kenichi said “It has been great how quick the fans had warmed up to me and that has been memorable though it could have been better” taking into consideration where the team finished (fourth) at the end of the first half of the season.
“It has been an amazing and memorable first half of the season and not forgetting (the season) has brought a lot of good times. But football administration has to be a little better than it is now in terms of the pitches and as we witness in parts of Europe the playing surface allows them to play at a higher tempo and allows tactics to be displayed better,” he said.
“My team started well as you know and we ended the season (first half) unbeaten in terms of away matches but it was the home form that cost us, however, we are ready to correct all the wrongs and hopefully lay hands on the trophy for the fans,” he added.
Coach Keni as he is affectionately called was rumoured to have been sacked from his post but he still remains at the helm and is raring to go when the second half commences.
It"s Been A Memorable Half A Season But ... - Kenichi
