Hearts of Oak appoint interim committee after managing director exits

Ghana's Hearts of Oak, a Premier League club, has formed an Interim Management Committee (IMC) following the resignation of their managing director, Julius Ben Emunah. This decision was made just one game into the 2026-27 season. The five-member committee will manage the club's affairs until a new management team is appointed. Ben Emunah had been in the role since February 2026, succeeding Dr Delali Anku-Adiamah.

He was brought in to bolster the club's administration, commercial operations, and sporting structure. The IMC was established to maintain continuity during this transition period. The committee's chairperson is Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, with Samuel Wilfred Yaw Inkoom handling finance, Akwasi Agyemang managing operations, Vincent Sowah Odotei taking on administrative tasks, and Alhaji Yusif Abdullai leading mobilization efforts.

The club's board of directors assured all stakeholders that they are taking necessary steps to ensure the club continues its pursuit of success, both domestically and internationally. The club urges supporters and stakeholders to support the interim management committee in handling day-to-day operations. This leadership change occurs as Hearts of Oak aims to build on their strong start to the league campaign, following a 4-0 win over Berekum Chelsea.
