Ghana Premier League side, Accra Hearts of Oak, is set to welcome Dutch trainer, Rene Hiddink as the club’s new technical director.
Reports suggest that an agreement has been reached with Hiddink, the renowned brother of former Chelsea and Netherlands manager, Guus Hiddink.
Hiddink will soon arrive in Ghana for his official unveiling as the head of the club’s technical department.
With vast experience as both a footballer and a coach, he has previously worked as the assistant coach of the Maldives national football team and managed clubs in Rwanda, Madagascar, and the Maldives.
Moreover, alongside the acquisition of Rene Hiddink as the technical director, Hearts of Oak is poised to announce a new substantive head coach for the upcoming league season.
The club has already bid farewell to interim coach David Ocloo after an eight-month stint. Ocloo had taken over on an interim basis following the termination of Serbian trainer Slavko Matic’s contract due to lackluster performance.
Under Ocloo’s guidance, Hearts of Oak achieved a 10th-place finish last season, narrowly avoiding relegation on the final day of the league season.
