Ashantigold chief executive Kudjoe Fianoo has sensationally revealed he will choose David Duncan over Bashir Hayford 'on any day' due to his ââ¬Ëprofessionalismââ¬â¢, in a subtle vote-of-no confidence in his own trainer.
The outspoken football administrator reposed his confidence in the newly-appointed Asante Kotoko coach and extolled many of his immense qualities.
ââ¬ÅThose who donââ¬â¢t know Duncan will say a lot of ill things about him but having worked with him for a long time, I can tell you that he is a professionalâ⬠he told Happy FM
ââ¬ÅHe doesnââ¬â¢t like interference because he wants to be allowed to do his job.
ââ¬ÅBetween Duncan and Bashir Hayford, I will pick Duncan on any day. Duncan always confers with those he works with and takes criticisms in good faith."
But the public admiration and comparison between the ex-Hearts trainer and Hayford has been widely viewed as a subtle damning verdict on the professional conduct of his current coach.
Hayford has guided the miners to the top of the table after 10 games but that doesnââ¬â¢t seem to have won his boss over.
Duncan, who is known for his no-nonsense approach, left Hearts under controversial circumstances two years ago.
But he has finally agreed to sign for Heartsââ¬â¢ sworn rivals Kotoko after weeks of intense conjecture.
