A press release explaining rumours that surfaced on Tuesday, July 18, 2023, was officially released by the management of Accra Hearts of Oak.
The content of the statement released by management explained the legal dispute that existed between the former Serbian tactician Slavko Matic, who will receive a compensation of USD 14,002 rather than the previously reported USD 50,000.
The profound team of editors at www.atspo.com reviewed the actions and decisions that led to the termination of Slavko Matic’s career at Accra Hearts of Oak, reflecting on how Kobby Jones led a team of supporters to attack Matic and the appointment of David Ocloo.
The Ghana Police Service did order Slavko Matic to stay away from the team after Kobby Jones, the National Chapters Committee’s spokesperson, led a group of supporters to heckle and physically assault Matic.
Kobby Jones confirmed to journalists that they were available at Hearts of Oak’s training ground, and he confidently defended their actions in refusing the coach to train with the team after Accra Great Olympics defeated them.
“Indeed, the coach came, and we said no, we won’t allow him to train. He attempted to explain things to us, but we rejected him, so he was forced to leave,” Kobby Jones confirmed.
David Ocloo was publicly imposed onto the Board of Directors by the fans, and he managed to defeat Asante Kotoko in Week 20 of the betPawa Premier League while also winning the 2023 President’s Cup at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe, a board member, stated following David Ocloo’s first victory as a substantive coach in Slavko Matic’s absence that the board’s decision would determine the Serbian’s future.
“Slavko Matic’s future will be decided by the board. Because the board has not yet met to make a decision on this, I am unable to confirm whether he will be staying or not,” the board member told Asempa FM.
