Accra Hearts of Oak captain, Gladson Awako has attributed the team’s woeful campaign to multiple coaching changes.
The Ghanaian giants experienced multiple coaching changes during the 2023/24 campaign, starting with Samuel Boadu, who was later sacked midway through. Serbian trainer Slavko Matic took over, but his tenure was short-lived due to poor results and pressure from the fans.
Assistant coach David Ocloo was then appointed as the interim coach to steer the team until the end of the season. Despite their efforts, the team finished 12th on the league log with 47 points.
Speaking in an interview with Akoma FM, Awako disclosed that the constant changes in coaching affected the team’s performance as each coach had different philosophies that required time for the players to adapt.
“The departure of Slavko Matic really affected us and it didn’t help at all. Before Matic, we were at the 12th position, but we moved to the 3rd position with him in charge, and now see where we ended the season,” he added.
The Rainbows are currently in search of a new coach for a permanent coach ahead of the upcoming campaign.
