\n
Former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of\u00a0Accra Hearts of Oak, Harry Zhakkour, shared a story about how his wife was upset with him for using their children\u2019s school fees to sponsor the club.<\/p>\n
He explained that he had to cover the club\u2019s travel expenses for a competition, which led him to use the school fees.<\/p>\n
Zhakkour noted that this decision caused significant tension in his marriage, almost leading to divorce.<\/p>\n
\u201cI paid for the tickets and travel expenses of the team for a competition. I used my kids\u2019 school fees to make those payments, and my wife almost divorced me,\u201d he told Muftawu Nabila in a yet-to-be-aired interview on JoyNews.<\/p>\n
He added that the issue was resolved amicably, preserving their marriage.<\/p>\n
Zhakkour, who also served as Chairman of Great Olympics before joining Hearts of Oak, reflected that the money spent on the club could have earned substantial interest if saved in a bank.<\/p>\n
He managed Hearts of Oak for six years, achieving numerous trophies in Ghana and Africa, but eventually left due to criticism from some club members.<\/p>\n
