Hearts of Oak Giants have named club veteran Sebastian Barnes as Head of Scouting.

After leaving Ghana in 1995 to join Bayer Leverkusen, the former Ghana U17 captain returns to the local scene.

This came after he led the Black Starlets to victory in the 1991 FIFA U17 World Cup in Italy.

Barnes formerly managed Bayer Leverkusen’s U17 team and holds a UEFA Licence B.

The 46-year-old has previously played for German clubs Leverkusen, FSV Mainz 05, VfL Hamm/Sieg, and the American club Orlando Sundogs.

He will report to a yet-to-be-named Head Coach and Rene Hiddink, the club’s freshly hired technical director.
