Hearts of Oak coach Frank Elliot Nuttal says he is not under pressure to beat arch rivals Asante Kotoko in the FA Cup on Sunday.
The Phobians will be engaging their sworn rivals Asante Kotoko in the grand final of the FA Cup at the Tamale Sports Stadium on Sunday.
And according to the club's Scottish gaffer, he's not under pressure to beat the Porcupine Warriors despite it being the last bragging rights between the two sides this season.
“I’m under no pressure, I said that the first time I took the job, taking the job is a challenge, so I’m not under the pressure to win the trophy on Sunday,” Nuttall said in a press conference.
“We are taking Sunday’s game very serious regardless who are playing, we are mentally ready to play.
”I’m focused on my team, we deal with who we have to deal with, we have to show a strong attitude on Sunday.”
The last time the two sides met in the FA Cup final was in 1990 where Asante Kotoko defeated Hearts 4-2.
Meanwhile, Hearts of Oak avenged that defeat in 2004/05 season when they beat Asante Kotoko 8-7 on penalties in the final of the CAF Confederations Cup.
