Former Great Olympics coach Annor Walker addressed Hearts of Oak board member Vincent Sowah Odotei, appealing to become the Phobians’ head coach.
Walker was recently revealed as returning to Great Olympics after leaving Samartex. The former Black Galaxies coach had been extensively associated with Hearts of Oak, and Odotei Walker said that he had repeatedly approached him in his pursuit of the open coaching post at Hearts of Oak.
Odotei Sowah, on the other hand, was taken aback by Walker’s later claims against the club, stating that they were seeking to recruit players before appointing a coach.
“When he (Annor Walker) called me this season expressing his desire to come to Hearts of Oak, I only responded out of respect for his age,” Odotei Sowah explained.
“What is the logic in what Annor Walker is doing? He called me to express his interest in joining Hearts of Oak, and I asked him to send me his CV. However, he continued to pester me every single day. We never engaged him, we never discussed any contract. I have all the chat records, and if he dares me, I will make them public.”
Walker’s previous season’s misbehaviour was also chastised by Odotei Sowah, who stated, “He was fortunate that we even answered his call this season, considering his behaviour and how he embarrassed not only Hearts of Oak but also those who were lobbying for him.”
Odotei questioned Walker’s understanding of the club’s business, stating, “Does he know what we’re doing, that he’s alleging we want to recruit players before appointing a coach?” Is he familiar with the players we’re after, who suggested them, and who is in charge of the technical examination of the players?”
Following a dismal season, Hearts of Oak is planning to rebuild its roster for the upcoming season.
