Former Accra Hearts of Oak head coach Aboubakar Ouattara has been named the NASCO Ghana Premier League Coach of the Month for May/June after guiding the Phobians to an impressive fourth-place finish last season.
The Ivorian tactician achieved four wins and a draw in the last five games of the season, picking up 13 points from a possible 15 while scoring seven goals and conceding only one in the process.
As part of his award, Coach Ouattara will receive a 42-inch television set from Electroland Ghana Limited, sponsors of the NASCO awards.
His goalkeeper, Benjamin Asare, was also named the Ghana Premier League’s Best Goalkeeper for May/June by the Ex-National Goalkeepers Union. Asare’s composure and confidence between the posts helped Hearts of Oak secure 13 points out of a possible 15 during the month under review.
He kept three clean sheets, including back-to-back shutouts against Legon Cities and FC Samartex 1996, and conceded just one goal.
Asare will receive a pair of gloves, a branded towel, a water bottle, and a T-shirt from the Ex-National Goalkeepers Union (NEGO).
Meanwhile, Nations FC’s Kelvin Ampoful has been adjudged the NASCO Ghana Premier League Player of the Month for May/June following his outstanding performance, scoring three goals in five league matches, including a notable brace against Legon Cities in their Matchday 31 fixture.
He also won the most man-of-the-match awards during the month, claiming three.
For his reward, Ampoful will receive a 42-inch television set from Electroland Ghana Limited.
