Nuttal has reportedly been sacked by Hearts
Hearts of Oak are expected to announce the sacking of head coach Frank Nuttal later today but the Accra-based club are demanding US$ 56,000 from the Scottish trainer after he was found guilty of pocketing the ‘’illegal sum’’ from the transfer of some of their players, according to reports.
Nuttal, who was suspended last week for ‘’unsporting and unethical behaviour’’ is said to have transferred some Hearts players without the knowledge of the club.
According to a leaked report of the three-member committee set up to look into the unethical behaviour of the coach, it revealed that Nuttall was paid US$ 50,000 and US$ 6,000 respectively from the transfer of two unnamed players.
According to a Graphic Sports publication, the committee’s findings linked the coach to the Scottish firm NM Football Consultancy, as collaborators for the transfer of players of Hearts.
Nuttal is said to have told the Committee: ” It’s a difference of understanding pertaining to the job. It is an error of judgement on my part for not informing the board and the administration [for which] I apologise to the committee and I plead that it should not cost me my job.”
Nuttal signed a two-year deal to become manager of Hearts of Oak last year. In his debut season, he finished in the top four and guided the Phobians to their first FA Cup final in over a decade but they missed out the trophy to Asante Kotoko.
