Board member of Hearts of Oak Alhaji Akanbi says they are not in a hurry to appoint a head coach.

Hearts have been without a head coach since the demotion of Portuguese trainer Sergio Traguil and the shock exit of Yaw Preko to Nigerian club some months back.

With the start of the new season around the corner, many especially the followers of the club would have wished they had a substantive coach now.

But Akanbi insist they must do the right thing by taking their time.

“We are not rushing to appoint a new coach. We have an assistant coach in the person of Henry Wellington and he has been preparing the team for the upcoming season,” Akanbi told 

“We don’t want to rush to do things, I can tell you that we have more than 50 coaches who have applied for the job, so we have to take our time to appoint a competent coach. We know the supporters are worry but they should keep calm.”
