Ex-Hearts coach CK Akunnor believes heââ¬â¢s silenced his critics after guiding Dreams FC to the Ghanaian top-flight league next season.
Akunnor took the Hearts job after leaving Eleven Wise and has since been instrumental in helping the side to bag a historic qualification to the top-flight.
The 41-year-old endured a difficult one-year spell at the club, leading to his dismissal in 2012 following a string of poor displays.
But after leading the ambitious second-tier side to the elite division next season, the former Ghana international says those who doubted him at Hearts should bow their head in shame.
ââ¬ÅIt is a statement to those who doubted me; yes I did not succeed at Hearts of Oak but am not bothered at what people will say,â⬠he told Starr FM.
Dreams FC secured qualification at the expense of King Solomon and Tema Youth.
