Annor Walker, a former Great Olympics coach, is about to take over as Hearts of Oak’s next head coach, according to Ghanasoccernet.com.
Annor Walker and the team have been in talks, indicating a probable break from his two-year contract with Samartex that he signed last year.
Walker, who is a year into his Samartex deal, has been in negotiations with Hearts of Oak. Walker was drawn to the club by its illustrious status as one of the largest in the nation.
He hopes to take the team’s reins for the following season despite their dismal showing the year before, when they just avoided relegation on the last day.
Walker, who has managed various clubs in Ghana, notably Berekum Chelsea, brings a plethora of expertise to the table. Additionally, he was given the chance to lead the Black Galaxies at the current African Nations Championship. He is a strong candidate for the coaching position at Hearts of Oak due to his experience and background.
After Samuel Boadu and his replacement Slavko Matic were fired, the team finished the season with interim manager David Ocloo, who received opposition from supporters during training.
Prosper Narteh Ogum, a former Asante Kotoko coach, was first mentioned in rumors as a candidate for the Hearts of Oak position. Annor Walker, who has expressed interest in the role as well, appears to be the next target of the club’s attention.
Walker will have the chance to have a big impact on Hearts of Oak and lead them to a more effective campaign if the discussions are successful.
