‘Slavko Matic has been advised to stay away from Hearts of Oak’ – Alhaji Akanbi

Alhaji Akanbi, a Board Member of Hearts of Oak, has confirmed that the team’s head coach, Slavko Matic, has been instructed to avoid the club.

Following consecutive defeats against Aduana Stars and city rivals, Great Olympics, the fans demanded Matic’s dismissal.

Although Matic was not on the sidelines for the match, as the team’s assistant coach David Ocloo led them to secure three points and lift the President’s Cup.

In an interview, Alhaji Akanbi disclosed that the 43-year-old coach has been advised to stay away from the club.

“Slavko Matic has been asked to stay away,” he told Sunyani-based Service Radio.

“We will meet Togbe Afede then we will see the way forward,” he added.

Hearts of Oak now sit on the 5th position with 31 points following the win and will play Bibiani Gold Stars in the matchday 21 games at DUN’s Park.
