Former Ghana International, Yaw Preko, has asserted that the problem faced by Accra Hearts of Oak going into Africa without a head coach is worrisome and should be solved as early as possible.
Hearts of Oak parted ways with Coach Samuel Boadu last week after he spent two seasons at the club winning five titles.
The Phobians are preparing to face AS Bamako in the second preliminary round of the 2022/2023 CAF Confederation Cup after being one of the thirteen(13) clubs to be exempted from the first round of the prelims.
Hearts of Oak have appointed David Ocloo as a deputy coach but will act take charge of the team for this clash.
According to Yaw Preko, the timing of the sacking of Coach Samuel Boadu is unfortunate and worrisome, and though it may seem to be a bad decision at this point,he believes the board in their own wisdom know what they are doing; “Unfortunately, in the case of Accra Hearts of Oak, it is quite worrisome because looking at the timing is very quiet unfortunate. But I believe the board know why they took that decision at this particular moment.
“For this to happen I also believe the board weighed all options before taking such a decision to let go the coach go. Who knows they might have already had a replacement before this happened”. He told Odiasempa Kwame Oware on Wamputu Sports on Happy FM.
“We all want Kotoko and Hearts to do well so I believe they will get this sorted out before their clash.
“We want our teams to do well, we want them to strive in Africa so we can get more slots in Africa because we only two slots and when they perform badly it affects all of us”. He added.
