Hearts of Oak managing director Julius Ben Emunah has resigned from his role less than a year after taking charge as part of the club’s restructuring.
Emunah, who was appointed on 2 February 2026 to succeed Dr Delali Anku-Adiamah, confirmed his departure in a farewell message posted on Facebook, describing the decision as a difficult one.
“It is with a heavy heart that I announce my decision to resign from my position as Managing Director of our dear Accra Hearts of Oak,” he wrote.
Before joining the Phobians, Emunah held several senior positions at the Ghana Football Association, including Head of Competitions. He had also served as Club Licensing Manager, National Safety and Security Officer and Western Regional Administrator.
In his farewell message, Emunah thanked the club’s board, led by HRH Togbe Afede XIV, for the confidence shown in him, while also expressing appreciation to the National Chapters Committee (NCC) for its support during his time in office.
Despite stepping down, he insisted his ties with Hearts of Oak remain intact.
“Although I am stepping down from my role, I am not stepping away from the club. I remain a proud and committed supporter and will always be available to serve, assist, or support the club in whatever capacity I can.”
He added that he was leaving with “immense appreciation” and confidence that the club has “a bright future ahead.”
His resignation comes just days after Hearts of Oak made an impressive start to the 2026-27 Ghana Premier League season with a 4-0 victory over Berekum Chelsea.
The Accra club will now look to build on that winning start when they travel to face defending champions Bibiani Gold Stars at DUN’s Park in their Matchday Two fixture.
