Heart of Lions coach, Bashir Hayford, has revealed that some people advised him not to take up the job he was approach.

This was because of the precarious situation at the club when he was being appointed.

Lions were the only club without a win in the Ghana Premier League after 14 rounds of games at the time Hayford came

The appointment of Hayford came a week after Fatawu Salifu was dismissed with the club hoping to turn their season around under the former Legon Cities gaffer.

Speaking on why he decided to accept the challenge, the experienced trainer said he was determined to turn things around, even when people thought it was impossible.

“Many people advised me not to [take the job]. I accepted it on the basis of trying to prove a point that no condition is totally disoriented, you can resurrect some issues,” Bashir told JoySports.

Heart of Lions are now second from bottom on the table with 32 points, just one away from safety.
