Ghanaweb.com can confirm that Accra Hearts of Oak have officially
terminated the contract of head coach Frank Nuttall with immediate
effect.
The termination of Frank Nuttall’s contract, which was contained in a
press release copied to Ghanaweb.com comes days after the Scottish
trainer was suspended for breaching many of the club’s code of conduct.
The Committee which was established to look into the merit or otherwise
of his suspension, have in unison concluded that
there is no future for
Nuttall at the club, for which reason his contract has been terminated.
“The Board of Directors of Accra Hearts of Oak Sporting Club, has with
immediate effect, terminated Coach Frank Elliot Nuttal’s contract for
behaviours which were in direct conflict with the interest of the club”,
part of the press release read.
According to the committee that was investigating Frank Nuttall “he
admitted to his involvement in aiding and introducing players of the
club to agents and vice versa without the knowledge of the management of
the club”.
Nuttall who was held in high regard until the recent incidents is said
to have influenced players to leave the club, with the promise that he
could secure them lucrative deals outside the shores of Ghana. He also
signed these players, mostly those whose contracts were almost up to his
agency (NM Agency) where he benefited from the sale of players such as
Kwame Kizito, Thomas Abbey, Atinga and Winful Cobinna.
Nuttall signed a two-year deal to become manager of Hearts of Oak last
year. In his debut season, he finished in the top four and guided the
Phobians to their first FA Cup final in over a decade but they missed
out the trophy to Asante Kotoko.
