Heart of Lions coach, Fatawu Salifu has revealed Dr Randy Abbey, who is the club's role in the process of securing qualification to the Ghana Premier League.
The Kpondo-based side have booked their place in the Ghana Premier League following their qualification.
Lions sealed promotion with six matches to end the 2022/23 season after close contenders Vision FC lost 2-0 to Attram De Visser while Semper FI fell 2-0 to Na God FC.
Speaking to Citi Sports, Salifu praised Dr Abbey's commitment and his role following their qualification to the top flight.
"Randy Abbey is one of the people I work with at the national team level, that is the Black Satellites. He happens to be the Chairman of the Committee. And I happen to be one of the assistants,' he said.
"Randy developed an interest in me to come and handle Hearts of Lions, and as a young person, I am lucky to be working with someone like him.
"Tactically he is not a coach, but I will say that one time, he suggested ideas to me that worked perfectly. He actually guided us a lot in the season.
"He showed us that he is well experienced when it comes to Ghana Football, so I think that he played a very big role in making sure we qualify, and the financial support as well.
"We never lack anything when it comes to motivation, so we had nothing to complain about so we also gave our best as the technical team and the playing body.
"I am actually lucky to be working with someone like Dr, Randy Abbey," he added.
The former Premier League side are staging a comeback to elite football after being relegated in the 2014/15 season.
The Coronation ceremony for Lions will take place at the Kpando Park where they will play A5 Rences FC on Sunday, May 7, 2023.
