Hearts of Oak Begin New Era with Appointment of Serbian Coach Nebojsa Kapor

Accra Hearts of Oak have officially announced the appointment of Serbian tactician Nebojsa Kapor as the club’s new head coach on a two-year contract ahead of the 2026/27 football season.

Kapor replaces Mas-Ud Didi Dramani and becomes the first major technical appointment in Hearts of Oak’s rebuilding process as the club looks to return to the summit of Ghanaian football. The experienced coach has signed a deal that will keep him at the Phobians until 2028.

In an official statement, Hearts of Oak expressed confidence in Kapor’s ability to lead the club into a new era, highlighting his leadership qualities, technical expertise and commitment to developing a competitive team capable of challenging for major honours.

Kapor is no stranger to Ghanaian football, having previously managed Tema Youth, Bechem United and Medeama SC. His familiarity with the Ghana Premier League, coupled with his reputation for nurturing young talent and implementing an attractive style of football, is believed to have played a significant role in his appointment.

The Serbian coach is expected to begin work immediately as Hearts of Oak intensify preparations for the new Ghana Premier League campaign. Club officials have also indicated that his appointment marks the beginning of a broader restructuring of the technical team as the Phobians seek sustained success both domestically and on the continental stage.

Supporters will be hoping Kapor’s arrival signals a fresh start for one of Ghana’s most decorated clubs as Hearts of Oak aim to reclaim their place among the country’s elite and mount a serious challenge for silverware in the 2026/27 season.
