Polo appointed new coach of Hearts

Mohammed Polo has been appointed coach of Hearts of Oak, according media reports.
The ex-Ghana star has been handed a short-term six months contract by the club’s board, Kumasi-based Metro FM has reported.
Polo will be succeeding David Duncan whose acrimonious dismissal remains an issue with the club’s fans.
The board headed by Togbe Afede XIV has, however, decided to finally let the ex AshantiGold trainer go despite intense pressure from supporters to have Duncan restored.
Polo has now been handed the job with a set target of overtaking rivals Asante Kotoko in the Ghana Premier League.
He will however be offered an extension if he manages to stay second with a closed gap on the current leaders.
The club will soon be making the appointment official.
Polo helped the Black Stars to Africa Cup of Nations success in 1978.
Ebusua Dwarfs coach Prof. J.K Mintah and ex Ghana international Joe Addo were all linked to the Hearts job.
