Former football star Mohammed Polo vows not to coach Hearts of Oak again over unfair treatment

Published on: 23 November 2023

Legendary Mohammed Polo has vowed not to coach Hearts of Oak again in his coaching career, citing unfair treatment from the club leadership.  

The Phobians are currently without a coach following the sacking of Dutch trainer Martin Koopman last week.

The Ghanaian giants are currently in search of a new trainer but the former football star has oaths not coach the club again. The 67-year-old has had two coaching spells with Hearts of Oak in 1994-95 and 2013-2014.

He told Koforidua-based Bryt FM, “I will not coach Hearts of Oak again. In fact, I have no interest to coach Hearts of Oak. I served the club for 23 years and contributed immensely toward the success of the club. I have coached them on five occasions, rescuing the team in so many times but the treatment meted out to me is appalling. I invited them during my book lunch but none of the club leadership showed up, what wrong have I done?

“A USA-based doctor's fan needed a signed Hearts of Oak jersey so I went to the club secretariat thinking I will get some of the replica jersey, only to be surprised that the club sold it to him. What kind of life is this?

Hearts of Oak are currently 9th on the Ghana Premier League table with 15 points after 11 games.
