Ashantigold coach Bashir Hayford says he deserves recognition and respect as the club inches closer to their first Premier League title in 20-years.
Hayford feels heââ¬â¢s done enough to merit plaudits for transforming the miners since he took charge two-years ago.
Ashantigold are sitting four-points clear at the top of the table with eight games to end the season and are in pole position to end a 20-year wait for a Premier League crown.
And Bashir Hayford, a former Kotoko and Medeama coach says he deserve plaudits for his feat.
ââ¬ÅI do deserve recognition and respect from all of you. If I was Mourinho, many of you journalists will be singing my praises,â⬠he said
ââ¬ÅBut in our part of the world, we donââ¬â¢t recognize and appreciate coaches who do well.
ââ¬ÅI took this team from the scratch and look at what we have been able to achieve so far. These are young crop of talented players that I have put together.
ââ¬ÅThere are no big stars in my team. And you think I donââ¬â¢t deserve recognition? We must give praise where itââ¬â¢s due.ââ¬
