Hearts of Oak coach Samuel Boadu sees himself as a failure after failing to guide his outfit to finish among the top four clubs at the end of the Ghana Premier League campaign.
The rainbow boys were unable to defend the league title, losing it to sworn-rivals Asante Kotoko.
Despite losing the league title, the Phobians made effort to defend the MTN FA Cup title after beating Bechem United 2-1 in the final on Sunday at the Baba Yara Stadium.
Emmanuel Avornyo shot the Hunters into the lead before Caleb Amankwah restored parity.
On the half hour mark, the defending champions made their efforts count as birthday boy Barnieh scored the match-winner.
According to Samuel Boadu, not being part of the top four clubs in the just ended league campaign makes him a failure despite the side winning the FA Cup title.
“As a coach, I’m a failure because I’m not part of the top four, so I have really disappointed the supporters and this is how football is so they should keep supporting the team and I know that with time things will change” he said.
Hearts of Oak finished 6th in the 2021/22 Ghana Premier League season after losing their last four matches.
