Premier League powerhouse, Accra Hearts of Oak, are in talks with Prosper Narteh Ogum for the vacant coaching job at the club.
The FA Cup champions are currently without a head coach following the mutual termination of Samuel Boadu’s contract on Tuesday.
The decision to part ways with the former Medeama SC boss emerged following the club’s poor start to the ongoing 2022/23 Ghana Premier League season.
Hearts of Oak opened their season with a defeat against Aduana Stars at the Nana Agyemang Badu Park in Dormaa.
Returning to the Accra Sports Stadium in their second game of the season, Hearts of Oak were held to a 1-1 draw by their city-rivals, Great Olympics.
Boadu, however, led the side to pick a point against Asante Kotoko in the matchday 3 games at the Baba Yara Stadium last weekend.
The results leave Hearts of Oak at the 13th position on the league log with just two points.
