Accra Hearts of Oak have officially unveiled Sergio Traguil today as their new head coach for the second round of the Ghana Premier League season.
Hearts had to fall on the Portuguese trainer following the departure of Japanese American coach Kenichi Yatsuhashi.
The unveiling was done at the club’s secretariat in the presence of the media and two key Hearts of Oak management committee members namely, Vincent Sowah Odotei, head of the strategy committee and Frank Nelson a board member of the club who also doubles as a member of the strategy committee.
The Portuguese trainer who has already met the players and had three training sessions with them noted that Hearts is a big club and is aware of the pressure that comes with managing such a team, but he is up to the challenge.
“ I think pressure don’t exist in football, in my opinion, I am doing the job that I love so how can I be under pressure, I was born for this,” he said at his unveiling
“Pressure is when the month is coming to an end, and you realised you don’t have anything to give your children and family, for me that is pressure.
“I am here to try my best, whether the youth teams or the main team, I will do my best and get the club to a respectable place.”
Traguil’s first game will be against Dreams FC at the Accra Stadium on Sunday in a Premier League fixture.
