Former Legon Cities head coach, Bashir Hayford, has issued a come-and-get-me plea to Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak as he promises continental glory when appointed.

Bashir has been out of job since his departure from the Royals in the middle of the 2021/22 Ghana Premier League season but is hoping for a return to the touchlines.

According to him, he is open to helping any of the two top teams in Ghana football history return to dominating again on the African continent. He says he has gotten better since his last job.

“I am ever ready to coach if called upon. Though I’m unattached now, I have not quit coaching,” he said on Akoma FM.

“I am more matured now and my understanding of the game has grown, I am available for either Kotoko or Hearts.”

With both clubs yet to enjoy continental success since Hearts’ CAF Confederations Cup in 2004, Bashir adds that he could be the solution to ending that though it may not come ‘immediately.’

“When given the opportunity to coach any of these clubs, within 3 years, I will possibly deliver a continental trophy,” he continued.

“I normally use my first year of appointment to assess the players since, 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.”
