Jones Attuquayefio back to Hearts bench

The Hearts News reports that Ghana and Africa’s best coach Jones Attuquayefio has been reinstated as the headcoach of Accra Hearts of Oak Sporting Club Limited.

He was asked to continue to take charge of the club’s technical affairs last Friday evening after the Board Chairman, Mr Ato Ahwoi, met all the stakeholders who matter in Hearts at the clubs secretariat.

According to him, everything is on course as far as defending the league title is concerned and every soul under the great Oak tree should all come together as one family in order for them to lift the league trophy for the fifth time on the trot.

Coach Jones and the Chief Executive, Harry Zakkour, were all present at the meeting.

With the directive from the Board Chairman, Jones Attuquayefio was on the Hearts bench last Sunday when Hearts played Ghapoha at the Accra Sports Stadium.

Last Tuesday, Chief Executive, Harry, in conjunction with his management team served Jones a letter to “proceed on leave”, claiming the technical head needed some rest.

The aftermath of the decision drew protests from some fans who in turn disrupted the day’s training.
