Mohammed Polo, a former coach and player of Hearts of Oak, has placed the responsibility for the club’s failure to win the Ghana Premier League squarely on the shoulders of the management.
The club started the season with Samuel Boadu, but after a slow start, he was sacked and replaced by Serbian coach Slavko Matic.
However, the fans were not pleased with Matic’s poor results and forced him out. Assistant coach David Ocloo was then tasked with leading the team until the end of the season. Polo, a club legend, believes that the management’s poor decision-making is to blame if Hearts of Oak fail to win the title.
He criticized Matic’s decision to dismiss senior players without giving them a chance to prove themselves and said that if the team fails to win the league, the management should take the blame.
“The management has a problem because they appointed Slavko Matic but the fans sacked him and that indicates that the management did a poor job,” he told Kumasi-based Pure FM.
“When Matic was appointed, he sacked senior players without giving them the opportunity to prove themselves.
“There were no reasons why he made those decisions and when he was chased out, the assistant coach came to their rescue.
“For me, if the club fail to win the Premier League, the management must be blamed,” he added.
Hearts of Oak will face FC Samartex 1996 in their matchday 30 game at the Nsenkyire Sports Complex.
