Former Ghana captain C.K Akunnor has become coach of premier league side Accra Hearts of Oak after signing a two year contract.

Akunnor will take over from the Serbian Nebojsa Vucicevic who left the club last week after a poor start to the second half of the season.

Akunnor, assistant coach of the national U-20 side will travel to Sekondi to watch the Phobians play Medeama in a Glo premier league game on Wednesday before taking charge with his first league game likely to be in Accra against Liberty Professionals.

The Hearts job marks a return to coaching at the highest level of the Ghanaian game for Akunnor who was previously in charge of Sekondi Eleven Wise.
