Newly appointed Hearts of Oak coach Kenichi Yatsuhashi says he can’t be bothered by critics who have questioned his credentials.
The Phobians have been mocked by football fans following their decision to appoint the hugely unknown Japanese-American based trainer.
His competence is on the line and for many pundits, Hearts have taken a very bad decision. But the 46-year-old in an exclusive chat with Joy Sports noted that he is not perturbed and wants to do the talking on the pitch.
“I feel very excited and I know that a lot of hard work is coming and let my work speak for itself,” he said
“I had a meeting with management and board and all the things we spoke about will show on the pitch.
When asked about talk that he has no experience and is not fit for the job, he note: “I have nothing to say about that at this moment.”
Yatsuhashi who has been tasked to win next season’s Premier league says he is not under any pressure to make an impact at the club
“The whole country is watching us and I will make sure I make the people happy, I like the pressure and only the work on the pitch will answer all the questions you are asking.”
The Japanese American trainer will officially start work on Wednesday after holding a crunch meeting with the management and board members of the club.
