Head coach of Accra Hearts of Oak, Kosta Papic, has resigned three months after returning to the club.<\/p>\n

The 60-year-old is said to be unhappy with Hearts of Oak\u2019s board of directors following a meeting he recently held with them.
\nThe Serbian trainer returned to the Ghana Premier League powerhouse after having a stint with the club in 2008 where he left in the middle of the season, citing managerial interference.<\/p>\n

He rejoined the Phobians as a replacement for Edward Nii Odoom after just eight matches of the 2020\/21 Ghana Premier League season.<\/p>\n

Hearts of Oak currently sits ninth on the 2020\/21 Ghana Premier League table with 17 points after match-day 13. The former Orlando Pirates coach was in charge of the Phobians for 10 games, winning four, drawing three and losing three.<\/p>\n

His most memorable game was the 6-1 victory against then table-toppers, Bechem United, at the Accra Sports stadium.<\/p>\n

Papic has rich coaching experience in Africa, working with clubs in South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria and Tanzania.<\/p>\n

Papic has previously worked with Lobi Stars, Enyimba FC, Enugu Rangers, Maritzburg United, Orlando Pirates, Kaizer Chiefs, Young Africans SC, Chippa United, Black Leopards and Polokwane City.<\/p>\n

Assistant coach of the club, Asare Bediako also left the club recently.<\/p>\n\n
