Nations FC Chief Executive Officer, Kennedy Boakye-Ansah, has expressed confidence in head coach Frimpong Manso’s ability to turn the club’s season around despite a difficult start to his tenure.
Manso, who was appointed earlier this season to replace Kasim Ocansey Mingle, has recorded just one win in four matches. The slow start has left the Abrankese side in 14th place on the Premier League table with 10 points after 10 rounds of games.
Boakye-Ansah admits the team has encountered early challenges but insists the former Ghana international has the pedigree to stabilise the club.
“There were some issues, and that is what we are trying to address. Frimpong Manso is an astute coach. Looking at what he did for Asante Kotoko as a player and the success he had with Bofoakwa Tano and Bibiani GoldStars, we decided to bring him in when we chose to make changes within the technical team, even though there were other names considered,” he told Asempa FM’s Ultimate Sports Show.
“It is natural that if you are not getting the desired results, you will not be happy, and we are not all happy. He has expressed his feelings, and I have nothing against that.
“We have a long-term project, and we are hopeful that things will change, and it will start by beating Bibiani GoldStars,” he added.
Nations FC, who dropped points against Berekum Chelsea in their last outing, will seek a response this weekend when they host reigning champions Bibiani GoldStars at the Dr Kwame Kyei Sports Complex.
