Hearts striker Samuel Yeboah has backed coach Kenichi Yatsuhashi to lead the team to success this season.

The Japanese trainer tasted victory in his first Premier League game for the Accra-based side in their 1-0 win over New Edubiase last Sunday.

And veteran Ghanaian attacker Samuel Yeboah is confident the American trained tactician will steer the side to the promised land.

“Kenichi is a very good coach. I have played under many foreign coaches but Kenichi has something special about him. And I think with time, he can make Hearts a fearful side once again,” he told State-owned Graphic Sports.

Hearts have remained trophyless since the 2008/9 season.
