Hearts of Oak Appoint Nebojsa Kapor as Head Coach in Fresh Bid for Domestic Glory
Accra Hearts of Oak have appointed Serbian tactician Nebojsa Kapor as their new head coach, handing the experienced manager the responsibility of leading one of Ghana’s most storied clubs into a new era.
Kapor arrives with a clear mandate: restore Hearts of Oak to the summit of Ghanaian football and turn the club’s ambition into sustained success on the domestic stage.
The appointment comes as the Phobians reshape their technical structure ahead of the 2026/27 Ghana Premier League season. Kapor succeeds Mas-Ud Didi Dramani, whose tenure came to an end following the conclusion of the previous campaign.
The Serbian coach brings with him a strong understanding of Ghanaian football, having previously worked with Tema Youth before taking charge of Bechem United and Medeama SC. That experience of the local game is expected to prove crucial as he begins the demanding task of rebuilding a side under pressure to deliver.
Kapor’s arrival represents a significant statement of intent from Hearts of Oak, a club whose history is defined by domestic dominance and continental pedigree. The Phobians will be looking to translate their renewed technical direction into performances capable of challenging for major honours.
The new head coach is expected to play a central role in shaping the squad and establishing a clear tactical identity as the club prepares for the new season. With expectations high among the Hearts faithful, Kapor faces the immediate challenge of building a team capable of competing consistently at the highest level.
His first major assignment will come in the opening rounds of the 2026/27 Ghana Premier League campaign, with Hearts of Oak set to begin their season against Berekum Chelsea.
For Kapor, the appointment offers an opportunity to make his mark at one of Africa’s most iconic football institutions. For Hearts of Oak, it is a calculated move aimed at ending inconsistency and reigniting the competitive spirit that has long defined the club.
The Phobians will now hope their new Serbian coach can provide the tactical authority, stability and winning mentality required to propel the club back into contention for the biggest prizes in Ghanaian football.
