Former Black Stars striker Yaw ‘Rush’ Preko has been unveiled as the new coach of Nsoatreman FC.
Yaw Preko was unveiled on Monday, July 8 at the Baffour Complex in Twumasikrom at Nsoatre in the Bono Region.
Club owner Ignatius Baffour-Awuah, who is also the Member of Parliament for Sunyani West Constituency and the Minister of Employment and Labour Relations, charged the former Great Olympics coach to have a “winning mentality”.
“While you are winning home games, you must win away matches as well,” the politician charged.
“That is what we are expecting from you.”
Nsoatreman FC, led by Maxwell Konadu, finished fourth in the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League.
The current Black Leopards coach led the side to win the 2023/24 MTN FA Cup, automatically qualifying them to play in next season’s CAF Confederation Cup.
Mr Baffour-Awuah charged Yaw Preko to “make an impact in Africa”.
“Just like we agreed with Maxwell Konadu that in his first season, we are not expecting much from him but expected him to win the league in his second season, we are also not expecting that much from [Yaw Preko] in his first season.
“However, as for Africa, at least he should take us to the group stage and the rest in the course of the league season, we will review our positions.”
On his part, Yaw Preko said his coming to Nsoatreman FC is destined.
“I promise you guys with my boys [that] we will do whatever it takes that where Maxwell left off, we will take it to the next level.”
