"Go out there and do your best," Polack told the players on Thursday morning at training, according to Asantekotokosc.com. He was introduced to the squad by the club's Operations Manager, Ernest Owusu Ansah.
"I will be with you on Monday. But like I said, be ready for more hard work.
"Let's just focus on the game on Sunday. My days will start next Monday. You will get to know me. Put your mind on the game, and for those players who are going to be in the squad, believe in yourselves when playing with your teammates."
