Hearts of Oak have strongly refuted recent reports alleging that head coach Aboubakar Ouattara has been given a five-game ultimatum to retain his position.
The club's management has dismissed these claims as "entirely false and fabricated." Ouattara, who assumed the role in February 2024, has faced challenges with consistency, recording seven wins and eight losses since his appointment.
Hearts of Oak’s season began with a 1-0 defeat to Basake Holy Stars, following a previous battle to avoid relegation. This mixed form has fueled concerns among fans and analysts about the team’s direction.
In an official statement, the club addressed the rumors, saying: "The management of Accra Hearts of Oak Sporting Club PLC would like to emphasize that reports circulating about coach Aboubakar Ouattara being given a five-match ultimatum are completely false and should be disregarded."
The statement further urged supporters to back the team, highlighting the importance of unity and support for both the coach and players.
"Coach Ouattara, his technical team, and players deserve our support, which is crucial for our success," the statement added.
Hearts of Oak also called on media outlets to ensure accuracy in reporting to avoid spreading misinformation.
