Great Olympics name Walker new coach after former Heart of Oak boss' snub

Ghana Premier League side Great Olympics have announced Annor Walker as their new head coach.

The appointment comes a day after former Hearts of Oak and Inter Allies Japanese coach Kenichi Yatsuhashi revealed turning down an offer to lead the Accra-based side.

Walker replaces Prince George Koffie who recently quit the club due to "circumstances beyond his control".

"Annor Walker is our new head coach," Oly announced on social media on Wednesday.
