The Phobians also have expressed displeasure with Grant’s performance and tactics in their defeat against arch rivals, Kumasi Asante Kotoko in the president’s cup last Sunday.

Meanwhile, Mr Grant is also in trouble for lying about his coaching prowess on his CV.

The 47-year-old falsely claimed he had undertaken UEFA A Coaching certificate [the equivalent for a CAF A License] when he applied for the Hearts job in October, 2019.

But investigations by the club and the Ghana FA technical directorate prove otherwise.

The latest development mean, coach Kim Grant may not be compensated by Accra Hearts of Oak.

The former Charlton Athletic striker has previously worked with Ghanaian sides Ebusua Dwarfs and Elmina Sharks.

Edward Odoom has been promoted as interim coach of Hearts of Oak ahead of the 2019/20 Ghana Premier League.
