I pity Hearts, Kotoko Coaches- JE Sarpong
Veteran Ghanaian Football Coach Joseph Sarpong has told FMIG that he feels sorry for recent coaches of both Accra Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko.
JE Sarpong made the disclosure during an exclusive interview ahead of the Super clash between the aforementioned teams on Sunday.
In analyzing the game, the experienced gaffer highlighted the pressure involved in playing such games from the perspective of a coach who has had the privilege of handling both sides in the past.
According to him, the Hearts vs Kotoko game is a pressure cooker which has the tendency to make or unmake any football coach.
It is for this reason and a few other that he feels pity with Coaches of both sides.
“The pressure of playing any of the two is still huge from each of the support base. The utterances of people who support those two clubs puts a lot of pressure on the coach and the players,” JE Sarpong said
“If you are the coach of Hearts of Oak and you beat Kotoko, you are taken to be the best in the country. Otherwise if you are the coach of Kotoko and you beat Hearts, you’re hailed as the best. It’s been a dicey situation for them all over the years.
“Until the game is over, the Coach is not safe. I always pity those coaches now who are handling these 2 teams. The amount of pressure they’ll go through and the torture (should they lose),” he concluded.
The Hearts of Oak vs Asante Kotoko clash will take place at 3pm GMT on Sunday February 28 at the Accra Sports Stadium.
The game will be live on TV via Startimes Adepa Channel 247.
