Coach Bashir Hayford believes he will possibly deliver a continental trophy for Hearts or Kotoko when given the job
Neither of the two clubs has won a continental trophy since Hearts of Oak’s triumph in the CAF Confederations Cup in 2004.
Despite participating in various African interclub competitions over the years, both teams have failed to reach the semifinals of any of them.
In an interview with Akoma FM, Hayford, who has coached Kotoko and Ashanti Gold to Ghana Premier League titles, expressed confidence that his current experience would enable him to lead either team to victory in African competitions within a short time.

“I am ever ready to coach if called upon. Though I’m unattached now, I have not quit coaching.
“I am more mature now and my understanding of the game has grown, I am available for either Kotoko or Hearts.
“When allowed to coach any of these clubs, within 3 years, I will possibly deliver a continental trophy,” Coach Bashiru Hayford said.
“I normally use my first year of appointment to assess the players, groom the team and correct some mistakes. In the second year with some little infusion of new players, we are good to go. If we don’t win the league in my second year, surely in the 3rd season it will be a done deal.
“We can possibly win a continental trophy but it will not be immediate.”
