JE Sarpong to resign as 'kakai' Hearts are coming?

The marriage between Ebusua Dwarfs and Coach JE Sarpong is set to end after Sunday as Hearts of Oak Japanese trainer 'King' Kenichi Yatsuhashi storms the Robert Mensah Stadium for the week three clash of the Ghana Premier League like ‘Kakai’.

‘Kakai’ is a famous Ghanaian song which connotes a masquerade that is used to scare children during festive periods.

The stylish Japanese trainer has proved all odds wrong after cruising past Medeama SC at the Tarkwa & Aboaso Park last Sunday and is poised to continue his onslaught at the Robert Mensah with JE Sarpong set to be his next victim.

JE Sarpong gave hints of bowing out as the head coach of the Abontoabontao lads after their 0-1 loss to New Edubiase United last Friday.

"I don't understand what is currently happening in the club. It appears what happened to Jose Mourinho at Chelsea is happening here. If that continues, I may advice myself," JE Sarpong said after the loss to New Edubiase United.

With the forces of the Phobians up, and their confidence level risen to the zenith, the longest serving coach in the Ghana Premier League may be compelled to vacate his position after Sunday.

'King' Keni who was bashed by many after his appointment as Hearts of Oak coach has suddenly become the toast of the fans after registering two straight wins in the league and appears to be the masquerade that will scare JE Sarpong.

The Japanese trainer is expected to map-up a strategy that will guide the Phobians to continue their dominance in the league which is hugely expected to send JE Sarpong parking.

Hearts of Oak registered a win at the Robert Mensah Stadium the last time they played there under Coach Mohammed Polo and should 'King' Keni hand Dwarfs their third straight loss of the season, expect JE Sarpong to say goodbye to the side he brought back into the league.
