Bashir Hayford confirms talks with Hearts Of Oak

Former Asante Kotoko coach Bashir Hayford has confirmed Hearts of Oak have contacted him for their head coach position.

The Phobians are struggling in the ongoing Ghana Premier League just nine weeks into the season, despite high hopes prior to the start of the season. They currently have 10 points and are winless in their last fifteen away games, stretching from last year.

Many pundits as well as supporters of the Accra-based club have called for the sacking of current gaffer Martin Koopman following the poor performance of the club.

Reports emerged ahead of their tie against Bibiani GoldStars that Koopman was given a two-game ultimatum to save his job.

According to Hayford, the hierarchy of the club reached out to him, and he submitted his credentials, waiting for their call.

“Hearts of Oak contacted me, and I sent them my CV. The approach was made when they were going to play Gold Stars.

“If they think the current coach is underperforming and therefore my service is needed, I will be very happy to join them.”

The experienced gaffer has had stint with Legon Cities in the Ghana Premier League and the Black Queens of Ghana.
