New Hearts of Oak coach pledges to win laurels
Coach Samuel Boadu officially took charge of Hearts of Oak on Monday as the head coach on a three-and-a-half year contract with a promise to return the country’s oldest existing club to their glory days.
The former Medeama SC trainer was officially introduced to the media om Monday by the club’s Board Chairman and majority shareholder, Togbe Afede XIV, and would be responsible for the senior team, as well as play a key role in scouting for young talents for the junior side, Auroras.
Boadu, 35, became the third coach to handle the Phobians this season after Edward Odoom who was reassigned to the junior side and Serbian trainer, Kosta Papic, who resigned last month.
At the ‘outdooring’ of the coach, Togbe Afede XIV emphasised that although the club had not set any target for the new coach, it was their logical expectation that Hearts would win just every trophy at stake and, therefore, the new coach had a responsibility to win laurels for the club.
The Hearts chief further explained that the decision to put the club’s destiny in the hands of the 35-year-old coach was because he had been a long-term target of the club, hence he became a natural choice as successor to Papic who quit the job after just two months in charge.
