Ghana Premier League: Amankwaah Mireku & Adjah Tetteh Get Hearts of Oak Coaching Job

Accra Hearts of Oak have reportedly appointed Amankwaah Mireku and Adjah as assistant coaches for the club.

The Phobians have been without a coach since last season following the departure of Kim Grant after just a match.

Edward Nii Odoom who was the assistant coach was appointed on an interim basis.

However, a report by Kumasi based Oyerepa FM says newly appointed Technical Director of the Phobians Carlos Manuel Vaz Pinto has asked the board of the club to appoint the duo as his assistant ahead of the 2020/2021 season.

The inclusion of the former Hearts of Oak legends Mireku and Tetteh as assistant coaches is expected to augment the technical team of the club as they aim at ending their trophy drought.

Adjah Tetteh joined the Phobians from Dawu Youngsters and instantly became one of the first names to appear on Sir Cecil Jones Attuquayefio’s team sheet.

He was an integral member of the Hearts team that won the CAF Champions League in 2000 and was very instrumental in the 2004 CAF Confederations Cup triumph.

Mireku joined the Phobians from Okwahu United in 1997/1998 season. Earning his first start for the club under the late Emmanuel Kwasi Afranie and J. E. Sarpong, he went on to feature frequently in his first full season at the club, during which the Phobians won the league title.

After helping guide Hearts of Oak to annex the CAF Champions League for the first time in the club’s history, he was selected to be part of the Black Stars team that played Nigeria in World Cup qualifier in 2001.

He would go-ahead to record 15 appearances for the Black Stars to crown a successful career.
