The announcement was made via an official club statement released on Thursday, June 20, 2025. Dramani takes over immediately and will lead the Phobians on a two-year contract as the club looks to restructure and re-energize its technical team ahead of the new season.
“Following a comprehensive evaluation of the technical team and player performance in the recently concluded Ghana Premier League season, the Board of Accra Hearts of Oak has implemented strategic changes to strengthen the team.
