Ghanaian giants Accra Hearts of Oak are set to announce the appointment of Kosta Papic as their new director of football and head coach for the next three seasons.
Papic arrived in the West African nation on Sunday afternoon after reaching an agreement with the Hearts of Oak board of directors led by Togbe Afede XIV.
He watched their 1-0 defeat to Inter Allies in the match-week three of the 2020/21 Ghana Premier League season.
A close source has disclosed to Kickgh.com that Edward Nii Odoom will be reassigned to the steer affairs at the club's U20 side (Auroras FC).
Odoom was appointed as interim coach to guide Hearts of Oak following the sacking of Kim Grant last year due to the club's poor performance in the 2019/20 season.
Prior to the commencement of the 2020/21 season, Hearts of Oak confirmed the appointment of former Berekum Chelsea and Unity FC coach Asare Bediako as their new assistant coach.
Bediako will be assisting the 60-year-old Serbian trainer for their 2020/21 season's campaign.
Also, Papic has told the Hearts of Oak board of directors and management that he will be making additions to his backroom staffs which looks likely some of the current Hearts of Oak technical team contracts will be abrogated.
Papic handled the one-time CAF Champions League winners in 2009 before leaving mid of the season due to managerial interference.
Papic has been unattached after ending his contract with the senior national team of eSwatini.
He has rich coaching experience in Africa working with clubs in South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria and Tanzania
Papic has previously worked with Lobi Stars, Enyimba FC, Enugu Rangers, Maritzburg United, Orlando Pirates, Kaizer Chiefs, Young Africans SC, Chippa United, Black Leopards and Polokwane City
