Hearts of Oak have given head coach Kenichi Yatshuhatshi a three-match ultimatum to win in the Premier League when the second round commences or face the sack.

Coach Kenichi saw his Hearts side drop from the summit of the league to fourth place after some bad performances in the latter part of the first round.

According to sources close to the club, Kenichi was told directly in a meeting yesterday that coach Kosta Papic will take over from him.

It was also revealed that Hearts are currently having a pre-contract with Kosta Papic with a monthly salary of $3,500.

The club’s owner, Togbe Afede was reported by Angel FM to have flown from London to partake in the meeting, and he left immediately to the United Kingdom.
