Former Ashantigold coach Ernest Thompson applies for vacant Hearts of Oak coaching job

Ernest Thompson, a former coach of Ashantigold and Ebusua Dwarfs, confidently asserts that he is the most suitable candidate to lead Hearts of Oak.

The Phobians are currently without a coach after the departure of Serbian coach Slavko Matic and are actively seeking a new trainer for the upcoming 2023/24 season.

During the previous season, the former champions of the Ghana Premier League worked with three different coaches. Samuel Boadu began the season but was replaced by the Serbian coach due to unsatisfactory results.

However, following criticism from Phobian fans, Matic departed from his role, and his assistant David Ocloo took charge until the end of the campaign. Recently, Ocloo, who guided the team to a 12th place finish, has also stepped down from his position.

Thompson has applied for the vacant coaching job at Hearts of Oak and firmly believes that he is the ideal person to lead the team. “I have applied for the Hearts of Oak coaching job, and I firmly believe that I am the best candidate to serve the club,” he stated.

At 56 years old, Thompson boasts extensive experience coaching in the domestic league, having managed several clubs in the country.
