Board member of Accra Hearts of Oak, Vincent Sowah Odotei, has hit out at former coach Samuel Boadu for his conduct at the Accra Sports Stadium, moments before kick-off of the game between the Phobians and Malian side AS Bamako in the CAF Confederation Cup.
Boadu, who was sacked in September 2022 after a successful 20 months in charge of the club, took into the inner perimeter and did a lap of honour rallying support and sand with the fans as the team prepared to overturn a 3-0 first leg defeat.
His actions have now been described as 'distracting' by Sowah Odotei, who claims the board takes 'serious exception' to Boadu's behaviour.
"We take exception to what he did, by getting into the inner perimeter. We don't know how he got there," he told Joy Sports.
"He claims that he loves the club but what he did would have distracted the players. The board takes strong exception to what he did because it's never done anywhere. I've never seen anything like this.
"I hope that he will not repeat that under any circumstances," he concluded.
Boadu's sacking came just 12 days before Hearts of Oak's first game of the CAF Confederation Cup game against AS Bamako.
The decision proved unpopular among the fanbase, and the club subsequently lost the tie 3-1 on aggregate. They lost 3-0 in Mali and won 1-0 at home.
