Hearts of Oak National Chapter Committee chairman, Elvis Herman Hesse Jr has lauded the coaching prowess of Samuel Boadu and has described him as the new Cecil Jones Attuquayefio.
Boadu who was named as the Hearts of Oak boss prior to the start of the second half of the season is on the verge of steering the Phobians to their first Ghana Premier League in 11 years.
The Rainbow club defeated the sworn rivals, Asante Kotoko by a lone goal with in-form Daniel Afriyie Barnieh scoring the only goal of the game.
Attuquayefio is famously remembered for guiding the club to win the 2000 African Champions League title and the 2004 CAF Confederation Cup.
And Herman Hesse believes the club have found a new coach who understands the philosophy of the club and has described him as the new Attuquayefio.
"I must say I am grateful to the entire playing body of Hearts of Oak and the operation team," he told Asempa FM.
"Samuel Boadu has done a fantastic job since taking over the club and we are grateful to him. We thank the board for their support.
"The boys were determined to win this game and they fought to get this needed win and for me, Samuel Boadu is the new Cecil Jones Attuquayefio.
"His understanding and his reading of the gam is superb. We needed this win and we have fought to get this win.
"We are left with three matches to end the season and I am sure the players do the rest of the job," he added.
Hearts of Oak will be hosted by Ebusua Dwarfs in the matchday 32 games this weekend at the Cape Coast Stadium.
