Ghana FA technical chief Francis Oti Akenteng has hailed the impact of Kenich Yatsuhashi at Hearts.

The Japanese trainer appears to be silencing his critics after supervising a largely successful Premier League campaign so far.

The 46-year-old has been hailed for transforming the side after picking seven points from a possible nine in the Ghanaian top-flight.

The appointment of the relatively inexperienced American-trained coach was heavily criticized.

But he has turn the scales around after guiding the team to win two games and drawn one in three games.

And Ghana FA technical director Francis Oti Akenteng has been left impressed with the work ethic of the expatriate.

“Kenichi is doing well and what made me fall in love with him was information on his work done with developing youth football before his arrival in Ghana," he said

“I saw him as my own, a developer of talents and it’s on this I want to meet him so Ghana can benefit from his philosophy."

Hearts are likely to record their third win of the season ahead of the visit of lowly-ranked Bechem United on Sunday.
