From various accounts, Hearts coach Kenichi Yatsuhashi has been sacked three times already but the Japanese American still remains in charge of the Phobians.

His first rumored sack came in January after the Phobians poor preseason form culminated in an abysmal showing in the First Trust G6 tournament when the Phobians failed to score in 180 minutes of action.

The second rumored sack a day after Hearts 1-1 draw with WAFA where several accounts reported the Japanese American walked out of a meeting with management banging the door the door in the process. It was reported Kenichi will be sacked after their trip to Obuasi but he led the team to beat the Miners 2-1 in Obuasi, their first in 9 years,

The final sack came after the first round of the league with reports suggesting his dismissal letter had already been printed awaiting a signature to formalize his sack.

The details of his rumored sack letter had it that he was relieved as a result of insubordination and poor performance.

The Japanese American has been tight lipped through these six months always reminding journalists his job has always been on the line since day 1.

But on the Ultimate Sports Morning Show  on Asempa FM, Kenichi broke his silence on the issue particularly the accusation of him walking out on management.

He admitted to walking out of the meeting only because it had lasted for long hours and not as a form of rebelling as suggested.

“I walked out of a meeting only once in April . The reason is because I am not used to three hours   meeting,” he told Asempa Sports

“From where I am coming from, meeting lasts from 20-30 minutes.”

“So I have been doing my best, I have walked away once but three hours for me is a very very long time.”

“That’s how it is done here but I am doing my best to get used to it except for that one in April I have never walked away.”

“In May, there was a meeting and I attended, it lasted 3 hours and 15 minutes but I was there.”

Hearts have picked 26 points out of 45 under Kenichi Yatsuhashi in the first half of the league.
