Hearts of Oak new head coach and technical director Carlos Manuel Vaz Pinto has left the club with immediate effect just 7 days after his announcement.
Kumasi based Oyerepa FM has reported that the Portuguese has left the shores of Ghana to his country after disagreement with the club’s board of directors over assistant coach.
Vaz Pinto kicked against the board of directors’ decision to make Edward Nii Odoom the assistant coach.
Odoom has been the Phobians stop gap coach since December 2019 following the sacking of Kim Grant.
The former Saint George SA and Recreativo de Libolo trainer requested for the club’s legends Amankwah Mireku and Lawrence Adjah-Tetteh as his deputies which was rejected by the board of directors.
Vaz Pinto also previously handled Clube Recreativo da Caala.
Pinto handled the FC Famalicão U23 from September 2019 to June 2020 playing 26 matches, winning just 4, losing 11 and drawing 11.
The Cape Coast High Court has ordered the Ghana Football Association to expel Ebusua Dwarfs from the 2020/21 Ghana Premier League season.
It will be recalled in July 2019 that the Court ordered the immediate liquidation of the Ghanaian top-flight side to settle a 21-year debt by the club. The Crabs lads were dragged to Court by lower-tier Great Liverpool over the club’s failure to pay the transfer fee of their player Patrick Villas in 1999.
35-year-old Patrick Villars joined Ebusua Dwarfs in 1999 and spent three seasons at the club before leaving to join Turkish club Trabzonspor.
Cape Coast High Court stated in their letter to the Ghana FA that a Registrar of Companies has been appointed to wind up the Ghana Premier League side to settle the indebtedness. Ebusua have been scheduled to host their regional rivals Elmina Sharks in the 2020/21 Ghana Premier League match-week one on November 14.
