“My job is to develop the players and the entire team because when that happens, it will improve our chances of winning more matches.”

Yatsuhashi believed that due to his impressive performance during his days at Hearts of oak a lot of pressure will be on him.

“I know that expectations are high and people will be asking a lot of questions as to whether I can succeed like the first time, so that will put much pressure on me but I will be able to handle it because I live with pressure and it is my nature.”

Yatsuhashi last coaching job was in 2017 in the Cambodian top-flight with Tiger FC.
