Hearts romped to the 2020-21 league title following a hard-fought 1-1 draw with Liberty Professionals on Sunday.
Daniel Afriyie Barnieh’s first-half strike was cancelled out by a late goal from Paul Kwame as the two teams shared the spoils.
The Phobians were aided by the result of bitter rivals Asante Kotoko, who lost 2-1 to Bechem United on the same day to ensure it was now mathematically impossible to surpass the Phobians.
Before Boadu’s arrival, the Phobians had gone over a decade without winning any major trophy, with their last league title dating back to 2009.

However, the 35-year-old has succeeded in transforming the team from a fragile side to world-beaters within the space of four months.
The former Medeama SC boss joined when Hearts were sixth on the league table and has impressively led them to become champions.
