GHANIAN coach, Yaw Preko hopes to be named the substantive head coach of FC IfeanyiUbah after he guided the team to win the Nigeria Charity Cup against Rangers on Wednesday.
The former Hearts assistant coach saw his 10-man team beat the Nigeria league champions, 4-3 on penalties.
“I was contracted as the assistant coach of the club and following the departure of Kenichi Yatsuhashi, I was asked to take over in an acting capacity,” Yaw told Accra-based Happy FM from his base in Nigeria.
“I am doing the job and I thank God that I have won my first trophy. I am hoping to be named the substantive head coach of the club if they think I should be named,” he added.
Yaw Preko resigned as the assistant coach of coachless Accra Hearts of Oak following agitations with the Strategy Management Committee of the club, with Yaw feeling he was not respected by the top hierarchy of the club.
