Mireku, Adjah-Tetteh to land coaching roles at Hearts Of Oak

Amankwaah Mireku

The Hearts of Oak board of directors have decided to draft two of their legends into the club’s technical team for the 2020/21 season, according to Oyerepa FM.

Ghana Premier League heavyweights Accra Hearts of Oak are set to announce the appointment of Amankwah Mireku and Lawrence Adjah-Tetteh as assistant coaches for the senior team. 

According to Oyerepa FM, the newly-appointed head coach, Carlos Manuel Vaz Pinto has asked the club’s board of directors to appoint the duo as his deputies. Hearts of Oak have been without an assistant coach and a head coach since the sacking of Kim Grant in December last year. 

Auroras FC (Hearts of Oak U20 side) head coach, Edward Nii Odoom was reassigned to become a stop-gap coach Odoom guided the one-time CAF Champions League winners during the 2019/20 Ghana Premier League season which was cancelled due to Coronavirus pandemic.

 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. Mireku and success are bedfellows. Success rained down on him. In his ten-year stay with the Accra club, he laid claim to seven league titles, two FA Cups and the CAF Champions League and Confederation Cup hauls is worthy enough of discussion among the top 20 players of the last two decades.
