Pressure mounts on Odotei and Akambi after Hearts of Oak’s exit from CAF Confederation Cup

Published on: 17 October 2022

Hearts of Oak on Sunday, October 16, suffered elimination from the CAF Confederation Cup.

This was regardless of the team’s narrow 1-0 win over AS Real Bamako in the second leg of the tie in the second preliminary round of the competition.

Due to a 3-0 defeat from the first leg, Hearts of Oak crashed out of the CAF Confederation Cup on the back of a 3-1 aggregate defeat.

After the game, supporters of Hearts of Oak held board members Vincent Odotei Sowah and Alhaji Akambi hostage, accusing the duo of being the cause of the club’s woes.

Some fans yesterday went to the extreme by deflating the car tyres of Vicent Odotei Sowah.

Twelve hours later, fans are mounting pressure on the two board members to step aside for others to take charge of the running of the club.

A section of the fans also wants club board chairman Togbe Afede XIV to be blamed for the woes of the club.

Amid the bashing directed the way of Vincent Odotei Sowah and Alhaji Akambi, some fans are calling for the appointment of coach Samuel Boadu.

It is the belief that the club erred in sacking the gaffer who had led the club to five trophies in just 18 months.
