Why THREE big Ghanaian coaches rejected Hearts of Oak
Hearts of Oak are struggling to attract a big-name coach after the unexpected exit of Kosta Papic two weeks ago. GHANASoccernet.com understands Maxwell Konadu, Ibrahim Tanko and Yaw Acheampong has turned down offers to replace the Serbian in the dugout. These three top coaches are concerned about the rampant dismissal of coaches by the club’s board who have come under pressure. The headhunted coaches are not enthused about the club’s signings in the offseason. Also, they dread inference by the board in player selection which was cited as the chief reason for Papic’s exit-but that has been quashed by board member Vincent Sowah Odotei. Konadu has been available since his dismissal by Asante Kotoko and Acheampong also expected to leave Elmina Sharks. Tanko, former Black Stars assistant coach and Black Meteors head coach, has been unattached since returning from the 2019 CAF U23 Cup of Nations in Egypt. In 11 years, the Togbe Afede XIV-led board have fired 22 coaches including Paa Kwesi Fabian and the late Yusif Abubakar. The rest are Nebojsa Vucicevic, Shaibu Tanko, CK Akunnor, Ben Adjei, David Duncan, Mohammed and the late Herbert Addo. Others are Eddie Ansah, Can Vanli, Kenichi Yatsuhashi, Sergio Traguil, Yaw Preko, Henry Wellington and Frank Nuttall just to mention a few. In the interim, stop-coach Samuel Nii Noi seems to be getting the job done with two straight wins (against Ebusua Dwarfs and Liberty Professionals). Next week, the Phobians face perennial rivals Asante Kotoko in the Ghana Premier League derby.

Agent conspired with Zamalek to agree $250,000 Benjamin Acheampong settlement instead of $ 1.1m
Ghanaian forward Benjamin Acheampong has disclosed his former agent conspired with Zamalek to agree on a settlement of $250,000 instead of an amount of $1.1 million. The Court of Arbitration for Sport had ordered the Egyptian giants to pay the ex-Kotoko attacker $1.1 million after unilaterally canceled the player’s contract during his time with the team. According to Acheampong, his former agent, a former Egypt captain Nader El Sayed falsified documents to agree a settlement of $250,000 which is just 25% of what CAS told the club to pay. Meanwhile, El Sayed, whose paperwork states he will receive 20% told the BBC the documents are both “authorised” and “official”. “The mere contention that Mr Acheampong would – two weeks after the notification of the Cas decision – suddenly authorise a third party to accept a settlement for less than 25% of the amount due is preposterous,” Roy Vermeer, the legal director at global players’ union Fifpro told the BBC. Benjamin Acheampong is yet to receive a dime from the five times African champions. Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications.

Pressure mounting on Jose Mourinho: Four matches to save his Tottenham job
There is no doubt that Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham Hotspur are experiencing tough times at the moment, having lost six of their last eight games. Currently sitting ninth in the Premier League, nine points off a Champions League spot, the Portuguese coach is feeling the pressure. According to the Daily Mail, it seems that Mourinho has just four games to turn things around if he wants to keep his job as Tottenham manager. The four matches in which Mourinho has to turn things around are the second leg of the Europa League last-32 tie with Wolfsberger AC, a match that should be fairly straightforward given Tottenham’s first-leg lead of 4-1, and matches against Burnley, Fulham and Crystal Palace in the Premier League. Despite the recent poor results, Mourinho was a little prickly when questioned about the current state of the team. “I don’t know what you mean by crisis. If the crisis is frustration and sadness in the dressing room, nobody is happy.” “When a team fights like we did until the last second to try and get a different result, it is never a group in crisis.” Nagelsmann favourite to take over The Telegraph, on the other hand, have already pointed out potential replacements for Mourinho. The sought-after RB Leipzig coach Julian Nagelsmann is said to be in pole position to take over from Mourinho should the Portuguese coach fail to turn things around at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. m.allfootballapp.com Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications.
