Public Relations Officer of Accra Hearts of Oak Muheeb Saeed has told Citi Sports that the club are likely to name their new head coach by the close of day on Tuesday.
This comes on the back of the club’s refusal to award former coach Mohammed Polo a contract extension after his deal run out at the end of last season.
Polo, who was appointed November last year, managed to better the team’s fifth place finish in the 2012/2013 season but his efforts were not enough secure him a permanent deal after he had been brought on as interim coach.
According to Saeed, certain key members of the Hearts of Oak board have been tasked with finding a suitable successor to take charge of the team ahead of the new league season.
“What I can confirm is that we have some members of the board who have been commissioned to head hunt for a coach and they are very confident that by middle of the week and even possibly by close of today we should be announcing the new Hearts of Oak Coach,”he said.
He added that the successor to Mohammed Polo must have the pedigree required to lead a team of Hearts of Oak’s stature.
“We certainly are looking for a coach that everyone will agree has got what it takes to coach a top flight club like Accra Hearts of Oak and has a credible record.
Former coach of Ebusua Dwarfs Professor J.K Mintah has been heavily linked with the job in the past few months.
