Head coach of Heart of Lions, Bashir Hayford has reacted to the club’s impressive campaign in the just ended 2024/25 Ghana Premier League season.

The Kpando-based club shared the second spot with Nations FC on 60 points with Nations awaiting a decision on their abandoned week 33 fixture against Basake Holy Stars.

According to Hayford, the secret to the team’s impressive performance in the league campaign is the quality of his coaching.

From a team that struggled to compete in the 2023/24 campaign, Heart of Lions improved significantly in the 2024/25 campaign, fighting for the league title and only falling short by three points.

On the final day of the league season, Lions defeated Nations FC 2-0 at the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex. In his post-match interview, Coach Bashir Hayford was asked about what worked for his team this season.

“It’s all about quality coaching. For me, that’s my job. You can see the boys have improved. I’ve enjoyed them because they have improved drastically,” Hayford answered.
