The newly assembled technical team, led by Didi Dramani, a former Right to Dream and FC Nordsjælland coach, will hope to turn around the fortunes of the club ahead of the new football season.
“I have tried to understand the vision of the board, its clear direction, consistency, and sustainability. We will strive to implement a more progressive development approach to build on it,” Didi Dramani said during his unveiling in Accra.
The experienced 59-year-old added that “Under Accra Hearts of Oak Sporting Club comes the Oaks FC, Royal Oaks, Auroras, and the first team. Our aim is to institute vertical integration from the youth levels to the mainstream, which means we need a clear direction, consistency, and a more sustainable approach across the divide. Therefore, we are beginning to put in place the right measures and consolidate what has already been established.”
Hearts of Oak will, after that, travel to Nigeria for the Eko International Tournament.
