Former Acting General Manager of Hearts of Oak, Bernard Nana Adu Gyebi, says Slavko Matic needs the right structures to be able to steer the club to win trophies.

The Serbian signed a two-year deal with the Ghana Premier League side in October last year.

The 46-year-old replaced Samuel Boadu who was shown the exit in September due to a poor run of results despite his impressive achievements.

However, Matic has come under criticism in recent times due to the club’s poor run in the ongoing 2022/23 Ghana Premier League.

The Phobians have also suffered elimination in the MTN FA Cup after losing at home to Dreams FC.

However, Nana Adu Gyebi believes the expatriate gaffer needs the right structures to be able to thrive and achieve better results.

“Matic can give you good results but he needs proper structures to be able to get you the achievements that the club needs but I can also say the structures at the club at the moment is improving,” he added.

The experienced coach has handled Serbian sides such as Napredak Krusevac, OFK Beograd, Novi Pavar and FK Sloboda Uzice.

He has also coached in Qatar where he was in charge of Al-Shamal SC and Al Ahli Doha.
