Hearts of Oak has agreed a two year deal with Yaw Preko as deputy coach of the club, according to the club’s official newspaper.

The former Hearts winger who tormented defenders with his pace back in the '90s will join the Phobians for the upcoming 2015/2016 season after almost 20 years away from the club.

This move is part of the Phobians’ plans to strengthen their technical bench after a woeful showing in the just ended season.

Yaw Preko will join Nii Sabahn Quaye with Black Stars goalkeeper’s trainer Nassam Yakubu set to join after Eddie Ansah resigned from that role.

Preko will join the long list of ex Hearts players such as Sam Johnson, Jacob Nettey and Amankwa Mireku who have at one point or the other joined the technical bench of the Phobians.

Preko will be assistant to a yet to be named coach but reports indicate Swedish coach of Medeama Tom Strand is most likely to take the job.
