Fans of Ghanaian Giants Hearts of Oak Vow to Chase Coach Out of Club After Poor Run

• Hearts of Oak fans have expressed disappointment in the team's performance lately
• The supporters group of the club have blamed trainer Slavko Matic for the teams poor form
• Hearts of Oak face Kumasi Asante Kotoko in the Super Clash on Sunday

Public Relations Officer of Hearts of Oak's National Chapters Committee, Kobby Jones, has revealed that the supporters of the club have grown frustrated by the performance of coach Slavko Matic.

The Phobians suffered back-to-back defeats in Accra against Aduana Stars and rivals Great Olympics.

The defeat in the derby in midweek has seen Hearts of Oak drop to sixth place in the Ghana Premier League.

The former African champions have also been booted out of the FA, leaving fans of the club unhappy ahead of the Super Clash against Asante Kotoko on Sunday.

“Some section of the supporters – whom I support because Matic is not doing well, want him out,” Kobby Jones said, as quoted by Joy Sports.

“If the management will not prevent him from being on the touchline [on Sunday], we will resist him because we believe he will not help us. We will do that.”

The FA Cup holders replaced former coach Samuel Boadu with the Serbian trainer, but after a bright start to his career with the Ghanaian giants, Matic has been on a downward spiral since the resumption of the league after the World Cup.
