*Zradko Lugarusic, Croatian coach of Ashantigold has exclusively told ALL SPORTS that he came to Ghana to reclaim the league title to the mining town of Obuasi. ***

*Lugarusic says nothing will stand in the way of the Aboakese lads when the Glo Ghana Premier League honours are handed out at the end of the 2011/12 term. ***

*“Do you know the reason why I came to Ghana?” Lugausic asked back in answer to ALL SPORTS enquiries on his expectations for next season before adding: * **

*“I’m here to win the league, that’s it and nothing else. We are ready to take back the league trophy and believe me, we will do it. Everything is possible in Ghana”***

*The first club to claim the diadem when the Ghanaian top flight metamorphosed into a professional era in 1994, Ashantigold, then Goldfields, defended it twice but those three consecutive league triumphs remain the only glory in the history of the club. ***

*Their renaissance in recent years have seen them finish runners-up twice in the past two seasons and the Croatian tactician pledges they are ready to claim the ultimate, so much he indicates Ashgold are also ready to go to Africa in the place of Nania FC if the surprise FA Cup winners decide to withdraw. ***

*He is however not promising any glory for the club in the just launched Glo G8 tournamnet.***

* “Who knows? Who can predict? We only see this tournament as a preparation, we start to prepare for the league now,” Lugarusic said.***
