Hearts of Oak appoints Nebojsa Kapor as New Head Coach
Hearts of Oak have officially appointed Nebojsa Kapor as the club’s new head coach, handing the experienced Serbian tactician a two-year contract as the Phobians begin preparations for the 2026/27 campaign.
The Ghanaian giants described the appointment as the beginning of “a new era”, following an extensive search for a coach capable of guiding the club back to the summit of domestic football and restoring its reputation on the continental stage.
Kapor arrives with a wealth of experience and is already well acquainted with Ghanaian football. During previous spells in the country, he managed Tema Youth, Bechem United and Medeama SC, earning recognition for his tactical approach and commitment to developing young talent.
His familiarity with the Ghana Premier League, together with his preference for attacking football, made him the standout candidate during the club’s recruitment process.
In announcing the appointment, Hearts of Oak said the Serbian’s football philosophy fits perfectly with the board’s long-term ambitions.
The club believes Kapor possesses the vision and technical expertise needed to rebuild the team while creating a competitive side capable of challenging consistently for major honours.
Supporters have also been urged to throw their full weight behind the new coach and his technical team as they begin work ahead of the new season.
Kapor inherits a squad looking to recover from a disappointing campaign and will be tasked with rebuilding confidence while establishing a clear identity on the pitch.
With expectations once again high at one of Ghana’s most decorated clubs, the former Medeama coach will be expected to steer the Phobians back into the title race and secure a return to continental competition.
His appointment signals Hearts of Oak’s determination to move forward with renewed ambition as the club looks to reclaim its place among the leading forces in Ghanaian and African football.
