Accra, Feb. 16, GNA – Ghana Premier League (GPL) side, Accra Hearts of Oak SC has confirmed parting ways with Head Coach, Kostadin Papic, and Goalkeeper’s Trainer, Ben Owu.

Both members of the technical team submitted their resignation letters to the club on Monday, February 15, 2021.

According to Hearts of Oak, the Coach in his resignation letter stated, “my reasons are partly personal, also for the fact that I am not getting the desired and needed results. I have no hope that it’s going to change”.
