Former coach of King Faisal, Mallam Yahaya has backed Charles Akunnor to succeed at Asante Kotoko after he was appointed a few weeks ago.
Yahaya believes the 44-year-old gaffer is the right man for the job and has pleaded for patience from the management and fans of the club.
“Kotoko should have patience for Akonnor, he can do the job, he is a very good coach. We have the same mentality because we both had our training course in Germany. I know what he is capable of doing,” he told Zuria FM sports.
“I’m pleading to the management to allow Akonnor to operate with free hands. They shouldn’t interfere in his job. Akunnor just like me hates interference.”
He continued, “I always say coaching Kotoko and Hearts of Oak is the easiest job in Ghana. Because you will have all the quality players at your disposal . What is left is applying your philosophy.”
