Ghanaian Reggae and Dancehall artiste Ras Kuuku has likened the achievements of the late sir Cecil Jones Attuquayefio to ace Portuguese tactician Jośe Mourinho.

Attuquayefio is arguably one of the best coaches to have graced the domestic football front due to his achievements with the Ghana national team and local giants Hearts of Oak.

The late tactician managed the Benin national team to the 2004 African Nations Cup, Hearts of Oak to the 2000 African Champions League title and the 2004 CAF Confederation Cup.

He was named African coach of the year in 2000 after his club Accra Hearts of Oak of Ghana won the African Champions League with only one loss throughout the entire tournament.

In 2015, Jones Attuquayefio died in the early hours of May 12, 2015, at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra, Ghana's capital, from throat cancer.

"Jones Cecil Attuquayefio was one of the best coaches we have ever seen in Ghana. He won several cups and could even rub shoulders wih Jose Mourinho if he was white. He was underrated because as a Hearts fan I saw him do some great things," Ras Kuuku stated on Max FM.
