Zdravko Lugarusic refuses to rule out Ghana Premier League return

Croatian coach Zdravko Lugarusic says he will love to work again in Ghana despite his unceremonious exit last year.

Lugarusic was released by Asante Kotoko after just three months in charge after a poor run of form.

''I will like to return],'' he said. "With the three sides [King Faisal, Ashgold and Kotoko], we made something nice. With Ashantigold we played the Confederation Cup and lost against Etoile Du Sahel.

''I have nothing against coming back to Ghana again in the future. For me, with good program, with good offer, it can be Kotoko, Ashantigold or any other else.

''Any coach wants to coach in Ghana. If you are in Ghana and play in Africa it means you are a coach.

''I came [to Kotoko] without proper pre-season, all the players they signed had just started training.

"If you [didn’t] get proper pre-season, five, six or seven weeks, then you can’t play proper football because you [won’t] get power, you [won’t] get strength and stamina to play; you have to play the type of football that suits the team and the players.''
