Hearts of Oak have terminated the contract of head coach Frank Nuttal after just a year in charge of the club. 

The 48-year old, former Zamalek trainer, was suspended last week for ‘’unsporting and unethical behaviour’’ with a three-member committee formed to investigate his dealings. 

The committee after their findings established that the Scottish trainer has been involved in ''aiding and introducing players of the club to agents'' on the blind side of Hearts. 

Assistant coach to Nuttal, Henry Wellington has been placed to act as the interim coach. 

Nuttal signed a two-year deal to become manager of Hearts of Oak last year. 

In his debut season, he finished in the top four and guided the Phobians to their first FA Cup final in over a decade but they missed out the trophy to Asante Kotoko.

Hearts of Oak have sacked six coaches in the past six years.
