Samuel Boadu has the full backing of Hearts of Oak Board- Kwame Opare Addo

Head coach of Hearts of Oak, Samuel Boadu has the backing of the board, Communications Director of the club, Kwame Opare Addo has said.

The former Medeama SC gaffer has come under pressure following his side’s poor performance in the just-ended season.

Having led the side to win three trophies last season, the Rainbow club finished the 2021/22 season on the 6th position with 48 points.

Reports in the local media suggest that the young gaffer could be sacked by the club.

However, Opare Addo speaking in an interview said Boadu, who signed a three-year deal with the club has the full backing of the board.

“We could not achieve our target of the season but we will improve on it,” he said on Asempa FM.

“There are reports that Boadu will be sacked which is not true. He signed a three-year deal with the club and the fact that he did not perform this season means he will be sacked."

“Boadu has the full support of the management. All is not lost. There is an FA Cup trophy to be played for on Sunday,” he added.

Accra Hearts of Oak will play Bechem United in the 2021/22 MTN FA Cup at the Baba Yara Stadium with kick-off at 15:00GMT.
