Hearts of Oak head coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani has expressed hope that the club’s ongoing transfer ban will be lifted in the near future.
The Ghana Premier League side is currently barred from registering or selling players after failing to settle unpaid wages owed to former technical director Rene Hiddink.
The Dutch coach, who joined the Phobians in 2023 but left after eight months, dragged the club to FIFA over what he described as an unfair termination of his contract.
FIFA subsequently ruled in Hiddink’s favour, ordering Hearts of Oak to pay $150,000 within 90 days. The club’s failure to comply with the directive has resulted in a transfer ban spanning the next three transfer windows.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ultimate Sports Show, Dramani admitted the situation has been challenging but stressed that his focus remains on on-field matters while management handles the off-field issues.
“My work is on the pitch while the hierarchy of the club deals with the external issues, but I hope the transfer ban will be resolved so I can bring in players who can help strengthen the team,” he said.
