Accra Hearts of Oak coach Samuel Boadu has described his entire squad as ‘unique’ after leading the club to their first Ghana Premier League title since 2009 on Sunday.

The Phobian gaffer was assigned the role on March 1 after quitting Tarkwa based Medeama SC and eventually led the Rainbow Club to win the ultimate in his first season – their 20th league title, three fewer than arch-rivals Asante Kotoko.

Hearts were crowned winners after holding Liberty Professionals to a 1-1 draw to open a four-point lead at the top of the table ahead of the final round of games.

In a post match interview, Boadu reflected on leading the club to their first Premier League title since 2009.

“It’s like there is something unique in the Hearts of Oak team,” Africa-Foot reported the National U15 coach is as saying.

“When I came, they welcomed me and supported me a lot, especially the management and the supporters as well. They were always advising me, encouraging me, they told me that I can do it so I should push it up.

“I will make sure I will not be swollen-headed. I will make sure I work extra. This is a motivational cup or win, so it will prepare me to go higher and higher.”

The Phobians’ league triumph ahead of the final matchday was partly due to a defeat on the part of closest contenders Asante Kotoko, who suffered a 2-1 away loss to Bechem United on Sunday.

Hearts have secured a place in the Caf Champions League next season.
