Hearts of Oak, under the guidance of newly-appointed coach Aboubakar Ouattara, has undergone a restructuring of its on-pitch leadership, with Kofi Agbesimah stepping into the role of captain.

Replacing Abdul Nurudeen Aziz, who assumed the captaincy at the start of the season, Agbesimah brings his robust defensive prowess to lead the team forward.

Agbesimah, a dedicated defender who joined from Bechem United at the beginning of the current campaign, has demonstrated consistent performance in the heart of the Phobians' defense.

Having already showcased his leadership in recent victories, including the notable 2-1 triumph against Nsoatreman and the commanding 3-0 victory over RTU, Agbesimah's elevation to captaincy underscores his leadership qualities both on and off the pitch.

Richard Attah has been appointed as the first deputy captain, while Kelvin Osei Assibey will serve as the second deputy captain, forming a cohesive leadership trio under Ouattara's tenure.

The revamped leadership structure aims to inject renewed energy and determination into the team as they seek to rebound from a challenging first round of the season.

Hearts of Oak is set to face Bofoakwa Tano at the Accra Sports Stadium in a crucial Ghana Premier League matchweek 20 fixture, with hopes of securing their third consecutive victory under Coach Ouattara's guidance.
