Berekum Chelsea appoint Hesse Odamtten as new head coach

Published on: 08 October 2020

Ghana Premier League side Berekum Chelsea have appointed Hesse Odamtten as their new head coach ahead of the commencement of the new season.

Odamtten penned a deal with the Blues after successful negotiations on Tuesday.

He will take charge when the club begins the next campaign upon the return of football after the closure enforced by COVID-19.

He was one of the "untouchables" of Hearts of Oak in the 1980s who were dramatically sacked by Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe's administration in one of the biggest shake-ups in Ghana football.

He later played outside the country.

Until now, the 54-year-old had mainly been engaged in grooming youngsters, particularly at lower league sides, despite boasting the respected CAF License A - the chief requirement now to qualify to handle a Premier League side in Ghana.

Indeed, the fine lineup of his previous clubs include Cheetah FC of Kasoa, St Mirren (which became Sporting Mirren), and also as the Greater Accra Regional Development Coach.
