Hearts of Oak’s NCC PRO Kobby Jones calls for Slavko Matic’s dismissal before Kotoko game on Sunday

Kobby Jones, the spokesperson for the National Chapters Committee, has urged for the removal of Slavko Matic before their match against Asante Kotoko on Sunday. This comes after Hearts of Oak’s loss to Great Olympics, 1-0, on Wednesday during matchday 19.

The upcoming match, scheduled for 15:00GMT at the Accra Sports Stadium, will see Hearts of Oak hosting Kotoko.

Prior to the match, Jones has called for the dismissal of the Serbian coach, stating that the 43-year-old is inadequate in leading the team to success. Jones recommends that David Ocloo, the assistant coach, take charge of the team instead.

“We will not allow Matic to lead Hearts of Oak to play against Asante Kotoko,” he told Asempa FM.

“We will not allow him to train with the players at Pobiman. The game on Sunday is very important for us the supporters.

“He [Slavko Matic] is from Serbia and if anything happens, he will leave but we will endure the pain.

“He has sacked all the senior players and now the team is failing to perform. We will not allow that to happen.

“We don’t need the services of Matic because we are even told that he does not listen to the board chairman.

“We know the management are in charge of the team but we will prevent the coach from holding training today.

“We will support David Ocloo, who is the assistant coach to lead the team for the Kotoko game.

“If the management does not agree, then it means they are happy with what is happening but we will not allow that,” he added.
