One of Ghana's rising technical brains, saac 'Opeele' Aboagye, has been tipped to take over as the new coach of Accra Hearts of Oak.

Coach Karim Zito is reported to be on his way out of the club after the club's indifferent start to the season.

Hearts' 3-0 defeat at the hands of Liberty Professionals has piled pressure on Zito with some management members calling for his sacking.

Opeele, who has been very impressive in his coaching career, is being touted as the man to replace Zito.

The UK-trained coach, who is credited for reviving Tudu Mighty Jets and saving Sekondi Hasaacas from relegation last season was recently signed by Kessben FC.

Even though he recently signed for the newly promoted side, the Kumasi-based club have expressed interest in releasing him to Hearts.

"If we are approached by Hearts to release coach Opeele we will happily do so as it is and opportunity for him to work on the big stage," a Kessben official said.

"Hearts will be playing in the Champions League and this will be an opportunity to show what he can do to the continent.

Opeele brought modern way of coaching to the Ghanaian league after leading Tudu Mighty Jets to qualify for the Division One play-offs unbeaten.

He quit the club to join struggling Hasaacas and helped them to beat giants Kotoko and Ashgold to avoid relegation last season.

He also writes a column for Ghana biggest sports newspaper the Graphic Sports.

Opeele is not the defender who played for Okwahu United and Asante Kotoko in the 1990s.
