Faisal's recent rise is due to Coach Edusei

The recent meteoric rise in the fortunes of Kumasi based King Faisal has been attributed to the presence of Coach Edusei who has instilled a new sense of discipline, confidence and dedication into the playing body. In an interview, Alhaji Karim Grunsah, the owner of the club, said his team, which is a mixture of experienced and young players is also well motivated and the players are desirous to go the extra mile for the club.

King Faisal would participate in next year's WAFU cup by virtue of being third in the just ended ABC Premier League. Alhaji Grunsah said contrary to news making rounds that he is about to sell some of his players to other teams, he is not selling any of his players because he want to make a good impact in their club's first continental assignment.

"Any player who has run out of contract and would like to move elsewhere would not be prevented but I will make sure that I do my possible best to convince him to stay".

Alhaji Grunsah said his team's plans for next season would not be different from what has been happening over the years saying " I have plans to recruit young talented players from the lower leagues to fill the places of few player who would be out of contract and would like to leave.

He gave a thumb up to the way that last years league was organised but said few incidence of bad officiating and crowd violence threatened to mar the season. On next Sunday's CAF cup final match between Ghanaian champions, Accra Hearts of Oak and Tunisia's Esperance, Alhaji Grunsah said he predicted some time ago that Accra Hearts of Oak would win this year Champion league and still stands by that.

He however urged Accra Hearts of Oak not to rest on their oars to think that everything has been sown up. He said the Tunisians would be coming to Accra with nothing on their mind than revenge.
