Samuel Boadu has been described as the new Cecil Jones Attuquayefio following Hearts of Oak’s impressive win over Asante Kotoko.
Boadu who was named as the Hearts of Oak boss prior to the start of the second half of the season is on the verge of steering the Phobians to their first Ghana Premier League in 11 years.
The Rainbow club defeated the sworn rivals, the Porcupine Warriors by a lone goal with in-form Daniel Afriyie Barnieh scoring the only goal of the game.
Attuquayefio is famously remembered for guiding the club to win the 2000 African Champions League title and the 2004 CAF Confederation Cup.
Herman Hesse, a member of the club says the club has found a new coach who understands the philosophy of the club and has described him as the new Attuquayefio.
“I must say I am grateful to the entire playing body of Hearts of Oak and the operation team,” he told Asempa FM on the Ultimate Sports Show.
