Accra Hearts of Oak Managing Director Julius Ben Emunah has been sacked from his position with immediate effect, just seven months after his appointment.
Emunah took charge on February 2, 2026, succeeding Dr Delali Anku-Adiamah, and was brought in to strengthen the club’s administration, commercial operations and sporting structure.
Before joining Hearts of Oak, he served as Head of Competitions at the Ghana Football Association (GFA), having previously worked as the association’s Club Licensing Manager, National Safety and Security Officer and Western Regional Administrator.
According to ghanasportspage.com, Emunah was forced to resigned since last week due to poor administrative work. This evening Emunah has announced his resignation in a statement on Wednesday, September 9, 2026 on Facebook, saying it was made with a “heavy heart” and was not an easy one.
He expressed gratitude to the club’s Board, led by Togbe Afede XIV, for the trust and opportunity given him to serve. He also thanked the National Chapters Committee (NCC), led by Alhaji Yusif Abdulai, for its support during his time in office.

To the NCC led by Alhaji Yusif Abdulai, I am extremely grateful for the support and brotherly love throughout. Although I am stepping down from my role, I am not stepping away from the club.
I remain a proud and committed supporter and will always be available to serve, assist, or support the club in whatever capacity I can. I am grateful to everyone who supported me, worked with me, encouraged me, and shared in the journey.
I leave the position with immense appreciation and the firm conviction that the club has a bright future ahead. May God bless us all, and may God continue to bless and prosper our great club”. He posted it on his personal Facebook page.
Despite stepping down as Managing Director, Emunah stressed that he is not stepping away from Hearts of Oak, saying he remains a proud and committed supporter and will continue to make himself available to assist the club in whatever capacity he can.
His resignation comes after a short spell in charge of the club’s administration, with Hearts of Oak having started the 2026/27 Ghana Premier League campaign strongly.
