Ghana Premier League: Kosta Papic Meets Hearts of Oak Players [Photos]

Kosta Papic has met the playing body of Hearts of Oak for the first time following his appointment as the head coach of the club.

After weeks of rumours, the capital-based side confirmed the appointment of the Serbian trainer on Monday.

The 60-year-old returns to the capital-based club eleven years after leading them to the 2008/09 Ghana Premier League title.

Prior to his appointment, Coach Edward Nii Odoom had been steering the Phobian wheel following the sack of ex-Ghana international Kim Grant in December last year, but it appears he has been demoted to handle the youth side of the club, Auroras, with immediate effect.

Meanwhile, Kosta Papic will be assisted by former Berekum Chelsea gaffer Joseph Asare Bediako.

The Serbian was spotted at the Accra Sports stadium on Sunday when Hearts lost 0-1 to Inter Allies.

The Serbian trainer’s first assignment will be to lead the Phobians, who have tasted a loss and a draw in the domestic league, against league leaders Karela United on matchday four of the Ghanaian topflight on Friday.

Hearts of Oak are with just a point after two matches played and are occupying the bottom of the league log.
