Maxwell Konadu could not please his team

Coach Bashir Hayford has aimed a dig at ex Kumasi Asante Kotoko Head Coach, Maxwell Konadu for accepting Legon Cities job while he was still at post.

Relegation – bound Legon Cities announced the appointment of Maxwell Konadu to strengthen their technical staff in order to ensure the Royals escape relegation with 3 games to go.

The Legon based club consequently, on their social media accounts referred to Konadu as their new coach leaving many to wonder the role of Bashir Hayford in the team.

Konadu trains the players and is seen in the dugout on matchdays, something that displeases Hayford, who feels betrayed by the club and the Black Starlets gaffer.

The veteran Ghanaian coach, Hayford said: “If you knew I am a senior coach, why did you accept the job with only two matches left? He told Graphic Sports.

“Why don’t you allow your senior to even finish the season? That’s what I will do; I don’t jump into jobs like that,” a visibly upset Hayford, aka coach Bash, lamented.

”They (management) said they had added him to the technical team and that he should play the two matches left.

“Even to help him to train he said I was a senior coach and he could not train with me standing there.”

“I think my face is intimidating because he said I was a senior coach and that he gave me that respect and so he wouldn’t feel happy.

“So indeed, if you are given a job and in my presence, you say this then you are telling them you cannot work with me and that they should sack me,” he said.

Legon Cities could be relegated if they lose their last match of the season against Eleven Wonders.
