Hearts of Oak board member and Supporters Chairman, Elvis Herman Hesse has taken a swipe at the management of the club for appointing Serbian trainer Kosta Papic.
The Phobians on Tuesday announced the return of Papic but declined to state the specific role he is going to play at the club.
But reports in the local media suggest that he will be the club’s Technical Director and also serve as head coach.
Meanwhile, Edward Nii Odoom has been relegated to the youth team – Auroras.
Reacting to Papic’s appointment, the chairman of the National Chapters Committee (NCC) said he recognizes Odoom as head coach of the club and has cautioned the board to take responsibilities of the club’s woes.
He said the cracks in the team are deeper than the coach and that firing or demoting Odoom will not turn around their fortunes.
“I’m speaking as I know that Odoom is still our coach because nobody has communicated anything to me about the appointment of a new coach, I saw Kosta Papic at Accra Sports Stadium as a common supporter and nobody communicated anything to me,” he told Atinka FM.
“Sometimes we also have to look at management and board. We should also look at the decisions we take and not only changing of coaches, I’m speaking without fear or favour.”
“Even if I’m part in any meeting to bring a new coach I will still say it without fear or favour that we shouldn’t go for a new coach. We should also look at ourselves (Board). We should also look at the things we do wrong and not to blame coaches and blame administrators for everything. We should also look at ourselves is very important,” he concluded.
Papic is returning to Hearts of Oak after more than eleven years. His first match will be against Karela United at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday, December 4.
