Former Black Stars coach, Charles Kwablan Akonnor, has urged the two most glamorous clubs in the country, Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko to be patient with their coaches.
Akonnor, who is a former coach for the two clubs speaking to Graphic Sports emphasised the need for Hearts and Kotoko to exercise patience with their coaches and allow them ample time to implement their philosophies and strategies.
"Patience is always good but they are kind of result-oriented so they don't take their time. If you go in for a coach, you might have understood what he is doing right before you went in for him and if you get him on board and the results are not showing immediately, you need to give him some time," he said.
While acknowledging that there may be valid reasons for dismissing a coach, Akonnor cautioned against jumping to hasty conclusions and advocated a more measured approach to evaluating a coach's performance.
He urged the two clubs to strike a balance between accountability and patience and emphasised the importance of understanding and supporting the direction in which the coach is taking the team.
"Management is there to manage affairs and to take care of the team. They must have a vision about how they want to see the team in the next two or three years but for a team like Hearts and Kotoko, a lot of emphasis is on results and if they don’t win, the supporters get agitated and will come at you," the former Ghana international said.
"But if you are management and you understand what you want and know that eventually, it will yield good results, then you must be patient unless the direction is changing," he noted.
