Accra Hearts of Oak Board Member Frank Nelson Nwokolo says instability in the club’s technical department is a huge contributing factor to Hearts poor showing in recent years.
Bar the brief trophy laden run under former Hearts coach Samuel Boadu, the Phobia club has struggled to replicate the type of dominance witnessed in the early part of the 21st century.
Hearts of Oak finished the 2022-2023 Betpawa Ghana Premier League campaign in 12th place after recording 12 wins, 12 losses and 10 draws in 34 games.
Asked why this worrying situation has become prevalent for Hearts, Nwokolo pointed to quick changes in the technical department in recent years as a major reason.
“One of the most interesting challenges that we had was that our technical department has not been stable. There has been a lot of change in our technical department from Papic (Kosta) and then we get Matic (Slavko) I mean there’s been a lot of change in our technical department and I can just always guarantee you a team with such a shaky situation, always finds instability at its door step.”
Under Boadu, Hearts won the league title for the first time in 11 years and won the FA Cup but sacked earlier in the past campaign and replaced with Matic who was forced out of his role and got replaced with David Ocloo as interim manager.
