Hearts of Oak head coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani has affirmed his commitment to the club despite the FIFA-imposed transfer ban.
Dramani, a former Black Stars assistant coach, was appointed ahead of the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League season on a two-year contract, replacing Abubakar Ouattara.
His tenure has faced early challenges, with Hearts of Oak exiting the FA Cup. However, the club remains in the Premier League title race, sitting fifth with 31 points after 18 matches, six behind leaders Medeama SC.
The team’s struggles have been exacerbated by a transfer ban covering the next three registration windows, following unresolved payments owed to former technical director Rene Hiddink.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ultimate Sports Show, Dramani acknowledged the constraints but insisted he is giving his all despite being unable to strengthen his squad.
“I am doing my best for Hearts of Oak,” he said. “I just don’t know how to pretend. If I say I will work with you, I will do it. This is my apex as a coach, and this is the best I can do.”
Hearts of Oak returned from the mid-season break with a win and will look to continue their momentum when they host Dreams FC on Sunday in a Matchday 19 fixture at the University of Ghana Stadium.
