Hearts of Oak Coach Didi Dramani Targets Trophies
Hearts of Oak head coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani has declared that his team will compete for every major trophy in the upcoming 2025/26 football season.
The former Black Stars assistant coach, who joined the Phobians on a two-year deal after replacing Ivorian manager Aboubakar Ouattara at the end of last season, began his tenure with a 2-1 defeat to arch-rivals Asante Kotoko in the 2025 President’s Cup at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Reflecting on the result, Dramani admitted that the team has drawn important lessons from the loss but insisted they remain firmly focused on silverware.
“We lost, but we learnt credibility in the failure,” he told Graphic Sports.
“No coach likes losing, and it may not be the last time we face setbacks. But we will challenge for trophies.”
Before the Ghana Premier League campaign begins, Hearts of Oak will sharpen their preparations in two pre-season competitions — the Gbese Mantse Homowo Cup on Sunday, August 17, followed by the GHALCA Top 4 tournament from August 20 to 24.
