Hearts of Oak board member, Vincent Odotei Sowah, has revealed that the club is aiming to secure the services of a coach in the mold of legendary South African manager, Pitso Mosimane.
Following the dismissal of their coach, Martin Koopman, Hearts of Oak has been in search of a new trainer.
Although Pitso Mosimane has been identified as their target, the club acknowledges that their biggest challenge lies in their financial capacity to afford such a high-profile coach.
Odotei Sowah expressed the club’s desire to bring in a coach like Pitso Mosimane, but financial considerations are crucial. He urged fans to be patient, as the club works towards a stage where it can attract world-class coaches.
Speaking on Asempa FM, the former MP said, “Those of us in charge of Hearts of Oak now, we want to bring someone like Pitso Mosimane. Can we afford him? Do you know how much he was being paid at Al Ahly?”
“The point I am trying to make is that, when appointing a coach, a lot of considerations come into play. If the fans are patient with us a bit, we believe we will get to a stage where we can attract world-class coaches.”
Hearts of Oak has undergone significant coaching changes over the last three years, having appointed a total of 8 coaches during this period. The current interim coach, Abdul Rahim Bashiru, is set to lead the team in their upcoming match against Asante Kotoko in the Ghana Premier League.
