Hearts of Oak Samuel Boadu is not content with his current status as the best tactician in Ghana and wants to achieve more by becoming the biggest coach in Africa.
Boadu is in a celebratory mood, having ended the Phobians surprisingly long title drought this season.
He has led Hearts of Oak to their first title in 12 years, beating fierce rivals Kotoko to the crown, which comes with a meagre 250,000 Ghana cedis reward.
Before Hearts of Oak were confirmed champions with a 1-1 stalemate against Liberty Professionals last Sunday, Boadu was adjudged the Coach of the Year at the 2021 Ghana Football Awards.
But, Boadu is highly motivated to showcase his incredible coaching skills to the rest of Africa.
“I want to be the biggest coach in Africa, that’s my motive. In life, you have to aim high and have to be self-confident. Somebody has been able to do it so why not you?,” Boadu said in an interview with Kumasi based Light FM.
“I don’t want to coach the Ghana national team. I want to coach national teams outside the country. As I walk around, I’m already self-motivated with my personal targets.
The former Ghana U-15 coach, however, admits that it will take extra commitment for him to reach the target set for himself and believes with the right decision, he will be able to succeed.
“Where I want to be needs extra work, determination, willpower and self-confidence and faithfulness. What will make faithfulness prevail is to choose the right people to work with under you,” Boadu stated.
Hearts of Oak's title victory is Boadu's first trophy in a career that started not long ago.
