Former
Hearts of Oak assistant manager Yaw Preko admits the opportunity to seek a
''fresh challenge'' motivated his move to Nigerian club FC Ifeanyi Ubah despite
interest from Ebusua Dwarfs. Preko was confirmed assistant coach/Physical
trainer of the ambitious club last Wednesday barely weeks after relinquishing
interim coach position at Hearts.
The former
Ghana international decided against signing for Dwarfs to reunite with former
boss Kenichi Yatsuhashi who had also signed a one-year contract with FC Ifeanyi
Ubah as the new head coach earlier.
He confirmed
opening negotiations with Dwarfs officials towards a possible move but
explained that was subject to the outcome of the Nigerian deal.
‘’I’m very
adventurous so I decided to seek a fresh challenge outside instead of Dwarfs
and the offer too is good’’ an elated Preko told the Graphic Sports.
‘’It’s not
like I swerved them to sign for the Nigerian club. I told them there was a deal
I was still considering and that I could only consider their offer if that one
fails to materialize, so they know’’ he explained further.
‘’It’s like
history repeating itself. As a player, I played just one season for Hearts and
got a contract to play in Europe.’’
‘’And as a
coach too, I’ve got a foreign contract after serving Hearts for just a
season,’’ Preko noted.
