“I am encouraged because it means my work has been recognised. It hasn’t been easy as it has been difficult from the beginning. We are finding our feet gradually. I thank God.

However, there is room for improvement as I need to work harder than I am doing now,” he said to naijaleahuez.com.ng.

Preko dedicated the award to the management of his club for the opportunity to work in Nigeria.

“I am fortunate to be in a club like FC Ifeanyi Ubah, where I have received a lot of support from the team. As an up-and-coming coach, I want more.  I am not satisfied and there is a lot in me to deliver. I demand a lot from myself and there is more for me to achieve in Nigeria,” he told naijaleaguez.com.ng.

Preko joins a long list of Ghanaian coaches who have worked in Nigeria.
