The 37-year-old in a chat with Hearts of Oak media revealed what transpired when he first spoke and met the treble winning coach.
“He [Samuel Boadu] didn’t talk a lot; I even spoke with him before I met him. “I was watching Hearts games so when they score he lifts his hands up and thank God and everything.
“But when I spoke with him on the phone, that’s the first thing I told him and he was humble on the phone and also when I saw him it was just the same way.
“Right away we had good connection. We didn’t speak much, we just spoke about football. “That’s it and the family and then the rest will just happen.”
Sulley Muntari told Hearts of Oak’s media. The 37-year-old has played for Italian giants, Inter and AC Milan, Udinese and Pescara where he won the Scudetto, the UEFA Champions League and the FIFA Club World with Inter.
