In the aftermath of Hearts of Oak’s 2-1 President’s Cup loss to rivals Asante Kotoko, head coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani stated that the team is still committed to growth.
Dramani, who inked a two-year contract with the Phobians not long ago, was planning to celebrate the event with some hardware.
On Sunday, his team led early at the Accra Sports Stadium, but they lost to Kotoko after letting in two goals in the second half.
In spite of the setback, he is still bullish about the club’s future and pleased with the progress they’ve made thus far.
“It’s part of the industry. At a time we were controlling, we lost a key player [Osei Asibey]. They took a chance, and so we have to acknowledge that,” Didi Dramani said.
He also emphasised that the team is still in the early stages of building something solid and sustainable.
“We are in a progressive process. I’m very impressed with the composition and execution. There is a lot we have done, but there is a lot we have to put in. I believe we will get there with some adjustments.”
Dramani also extended appreciation to the supporters despite the painful defeat.
“We love the fans so much. We want to see more of this.”
