The ambitious trainer will work under Yusif Abubakar who coached him during his playing days at Bolgatanga-based Mighty Rocks in 1994.
ââ¬ÅI have been appointed as the assistant coach of Heart of Lions,â⬠Abugri told Ghanaââ¬â¢s leading football website, GHANAsoccernet.com
ââ¬ÅI am delighted to work under coach Yusif Abubakar. He coached me during my playing days and itââ¬â¢s an honour to work with him again.
ââ¬ÅI am looking forward to contributing my quota to the success of the team. This is a team in progress and I believe with the right attitude and determination, weââ¬â¢ll get there.
ââ¬ÅHe recommended me to King Faisal and so I believe with his rich vein of experience and mine, weââ¬â¢ll form a good team to put Lions back at the top.ââ¬
The trained teacher guided King Faisal back to the top of the elite division after just a season in the second-tier two years ago.
He also qualified Okwahu United to the National Division One League promotional playoffs.
