Hearts of Oak players want Kenichi Yatsuhashi to stay

The 46 year-old Japanese-American’s job is on the line following a gross misunderstanding between the coach and the club’s top hierarchy.

Despite reports suggesting that Yatsuhashi will be sacked, the former Aspire Academy trainer via his twitter handle on Wednesday rubbished those reports.

"He is very a good coach. He sees us as he is a father to us. He encourages us a lot on the field of play,” Gnagne told Kapital Radio in Kumasi.

“We are happy to work with him because when we are with him, we are happy. He motivates us all the time so we want him to stay.

"Our objective is not thinking about what the management is doing. As players, our objective is on the field of play.

"We need to focus and be mentally strong. Our job is not about what's happening."

Yatsuhashi is regarded as one of the best coach in the ongoing Ghana Premier League as his team currently sit on top of the log sheet with 21 points after 11 games.
