Hearts of Oak board of directors takes new decision on Samuel Boadu after humiliating defeat in Algeria

Hearts of Oak board of directors takes new decision on Samuel Boadu after humiliating defeat in Algeria

There is pressure mounting on the Phobians manager after the dreadful 4-0 loss in Algeria, however, a large section of the club’s top hierarchy have reaffirmed their faith in him

Although, reports in the local media have suggested that some of the Hearts of Oak players are gradually losing faith in the coaching staff, especially head coach Samuel Boadu, as a result of their poor run of results, the club’s top hierarchy has reaffirmed their trust in him, AshesGyamera.com can confirm.

The Phobians were at the receiving end of a 4-0 hammering from Algerian side JS Saoura on Sunday in the second leg of the Caf Confederation Cup playoffs. The results means that Hearts are now out of Caf inter-club competitions this season having already been eliminated from the Champions League by Wydad Athletic Club of Morocco where they also concede six goals.

Moreover, they have gone four games in Ghana Premier League without a win and currently sit at the bottom of the league log and the elimination from Confederation Cup has piled even more pressure on Boadu as a section of the supporters even think he is not good enough.

However, AshesGyamera.com understands that Hearts majority shareholder Togbe Afede has assured Boadu that he remains well liked by the club’s top hierarchy and should focus on the remaining games in the Premier League.

What is the current situation? 

Togbe Afede reportedly spoke to Boadu and the technical team and although he was not elated with how things went in Algeria, he remained staunch in their defence amid the poor run of results. 


Hearts will leave Algeria on Monday morning and make a transit in Turkey. They are expected to leave Turkey on Wednesday morning and arrive in Cote D’Ivoire where they will make their last of the many transits.

What happens next? 

Hearts will shift their attention to Ghana Premier League and they are expected to face Berekum Chelsea on Wednesday December 15 at the Accra Sports Stadium before they head to battle Elmina Sharks at the Nduom Sports Stadium on Sunday December 18.

Ghana Football Association is expected to communicate the dates for their games against Medeama and Asante Kotoko which were postponed due to their participation in the Cat Confederation Cup.

With Hearts now trailing rivals Asante Kotoko nine points in the league, Boadu, obviously will be looking for a reaction from his players and should they fail to find their mojo back, the club may be forced to sack him and appoint a new manager.

“We took our chances against Kotoko despite being underdogs,” King Faisal coach Ahmed

The Inshallah Boys silenced their city rivals in the Kumasi derby on Sunday

King Faisal coach Nurudeen Ahmed says his tactics worked to perfection after defeating Asante Kotoko 3-2 in the Kumasi derby of Ghana Premier League at Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday.

The Inshallah Boys scored two quick goals in the first half thanks to Zubeiru Ibrahim. Although Cameroonian striker George Mfegue Rodrigues scored two goals after the break, Zubeiru added another to complete his hat-trick and condemn Kotoko to their first defeat of the campaign.

“We started the match as underdogs but we did the needful even though they played better,” Nurudeen said after the game.

“Being needful means that you sit back and then you take your chances and then you take them on counter and the few chances we had we utilized them and that has been the game plan throughout the week,” he added.

Nurudeen, however, played down suggestions that Faisal could win the league title as they are currently joint top leaders with Kotoko.

“Being joint top on the league table means we are on course but it’s just too early to say anything,” he insisted.

“But we believe that if we continue to work hard, at least we will get a respectable position on the league table not necessarily to take the cup or something because we are not ready for Africa,” he added.

The Phobians were thrashed by their opponents as they tried to gatecrash into the group stage of the Caf Confederation Cup

Hearts of Oak were annihilated 4-0 by Algerian side JS Souara in the second leg of the Caf Confederation Cup to book their place in the group stage of the competition on Sunday in Bechar, Algeria.

Although, the Ghanaian giants went into the game with a 2-0 advantage, they failed to make it count and conceded two goals in each half of the game.

Abdeljalil Saad opened the scoring for Souara by the seventh minute before Oussama Bellatreche added another goal late in the first half.

After the break, Hearts opened up more in search of a priceless away goal. However, they were neutralised anytime they went near the hosts’ penalty area.

Bellatreche added another goal before Aymen Aziz Lahmeri wrapped it up with a fine finish.

Hearts have now conceded ten goals in their last two away games in the Caf inter-club competitions as Wydad Athletic Club of Morocco also thrashed them 6-1 in the playoffs of the Caf Champions League.

Hearts of Oak with 35% possession, NO shot in first half against Souara

The Phobians conceded two goals in the first half but that wasn’t enough, their statistics were generally poor

Hearts of Oak failed to have a single shot in the opening 45 minutes of the second leg of Caf Confederation Cup playoffs against Algerian side JS Saoura.

The Phobians went down 2-0 and were totally outplayed as they only had 35 per cent of the total ball possession while their hosts had 65 per cent in the process.

Also, they didn’t have a single corner as compared to the five corners that their Souara had before the break.

As it stands now, the aggregate is 2-2 and any goal conceded again by Hearts could see them out of the competition.

Asante Kotoko 2-3 King Faisal: Zubeiru Ibrahim’s hat-trick hand Kotoko first defeat [Watch all the goals and reactions]

The Inshallah Boys proved that they are a team to watch as they silenced their city rivals in the Kumasi derby

King Faisal defied the odds to defeat Asante Kotoko 3-2 in the Kumasi derby of Ghana Premier League at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday.

Zubeiru Ibrahim’s tow goals in the first half

King Faisal had their noses in front very early in the game after Zubeiru Ibrahim calmly slotted in his effort by the third minute following a defensive mixup by Kotoko defenders.

The youngster made it 2-0 by the 23rd minute to shut down the vociferous home supporters. Zubeiru latched on to a pass from Mawuli and sent his last ditch effort beyond goalkeeper Razak Abalora.

Kotoko were awarded a penalty by the 36th minute but referee Julian Nunu rescinded the decision after he consulted fourth referee Daniel Laryea. The referee initially adjudged that a King Faisal defender had handled the ball but replays suggested it was rather against his body.

After the break, Kotoko quickly pulled one back through Cameroonian striker George Mfegue Rodrigues. The 23-year-old benefited from a goal line melee and brought Kotoko back into the game.

Although, Kotoko had several chances and were showing signs of a side that could pull even, Zubeiru silenced them once again.

The young striker scored a stunning hat-trick against the run of play by the 68th minute.

Although, Mfegue pulled one back once again, Kotoko could not find another breach to score the all-important goal and secure a point.
