Hearts Of Oak fans should be patient with Samuel Boadu – GFA president Kurt Okraku

Kurt Okraku, the President of the Ghana Football Association,  has backedHearts of Oak coach Samuel Boadu to bounce back despite his team’s struggles to defend their Premier League title.

Samuel Boadu has come under severe pressure after the Phobians lost to Asante Kotoko in Kumasi, and are now 16 points behind their rivals in the title race.

The team under his watch this current season has struggled in most of their games, especially the away encounters.

However, the FA boss – a former management member of the club – has jumped to the defence of the former Medeama gaffer, insisting fans of the club need to be patient with the coach.

“Yes they are supporters and all they want is to win but it is not always like that,” he said on GTV Sports Plus.

“I think the fans need to calm down and support Samuel Boadu because I don’t believe in fans calling for the sacking of coaches.

“We all saw how the club performed last season under Samuel Boadu and so if the fans stay united, things will surely get better. They should have patience for Samuel Boadu and his technical team,” he added.

Samuel Boadu led Hearts to the treble last season, and also won the President Cup last month with the club.
Hearts of Oak are in the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
