Hearts of Oak target top-four finish, deny coach exit rumours

-

Communications Director of Hearts of Oak, Kwame Opare Addo, says the club is determined to close out their 2024/25 Ghana Premier League campaign with a top-four finish.

The Phobians will host defending champions FC Samartex in their final game of the season at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday. Hearts currently sit 5th on the table with 55 points.

Speaking ahead of the clash, Opare Addo acknowledged that the team’s title hopes have fallen short but insisted they are focused on ending the season positively.

“We are hoping to end the season on a positive note by finishing in the top four since we have not been able to win the league,” he told Sporty FM.

Opare Addo also addressed rumours circulating about the future of head coach Aboubakar Ouattara. He firmly denied reports suggesting the club plans to part ways with the Ivorian tactician at the end of the season.

“Aboubakar Ouattara remains the substantive head coach of Hearts of Oak. No decision has been taken by the club,” he stated.

Kick-off for Sunday’s match is scheduled for 15:00 GMT.
