Under-fire Hearts coach gets boardroom backing

By Patrick Akoto

Hearts of Oak board member Frank Nelson has jumped to the defence of under-fire boss Nebojsa Vucicevic insisting he is the right man for the job.

The Serbian trainer has come under massive pressure after his side’s 2-0 defeat to Liberty Professionals to push them to the fourth position on the league table.

Some of the supporters are beginning to question his competence after picking up a single point from their last two games.

But management member Frank Nelson wants the fans to exercise restraints.

He told Accra-based Citi FM: "He is a very good coach and he needs the time to make things work and so I will just urge our supporters to be patient”

"We're all unhappy with the outcome of the game but we must give him and his backroom staff time to continue the rebuild process”

Hearts have a difficult tie against free scoring Medeama SC at home on 11 December.
