Hearts of Oak named David Ocloo as deputy coach and will supervise the team for the CAF Confederation Cup fixture against AS Bamako of Mali before a substantive tactician is appointed.[ads3]
Sharing his opinion on the sacking of coach Samuel Boadu, Laryea Kingston regarded as one of the legendary players to have played for Hearts of Oak believes the timing was wrong since the team have barely few days for the AS Bamako fixture.
Kingston believes the firing of Samuel Boadu will have an effect on the team but confident things can get better with the appointment of a new coach.
“For me I think it’s too late, I don’t think it’s good to choose a coach now, I think it’s going to affect them big time”, Laryea said on Radio Gold Talk Sport.[ads4]
“But sometimes football is strange, a new coach can come in and he will start getting results but definitely I don’t think the players will be comfortable with what he is bringing on board. He needs time, it will take time for the players to get used to but the situation that Hearts of Oak find themselves, they don’t have any option than to find someone that can lead the team.
“I think that’s what they’ve done but I think it will be very good to have maintained Samuel Boadu because they know what is at stake.
“They know that they are in Africa and the league as well so it will be good to maintain Samuel Boadu so that in the second round, they take that decision.”[ads5]
