Hearts of Oak assistant coach, Nana Yaw Amankwah, has debunked views that the club might end up fighting relegation just like they have done for the past two seasons and strongly believes they will bounce back stronger subsequently. 

The 'Phobians' last season, had to nip on a final day win at Bechem United to secure survival after weeks of flirting around the danger zone on the league log. 

However, it still looks like they haven't really improved in anyway having started the new campaign on a very lower note with defeats in their opening two matches.

Over the weekend, they suffered another embarrassing 2-0 loss to Heart of Lions in Kpando, thanks to two late goals from Kwesi Pong and Ishmael Addo.

Reacting to the club's recent woes, Amankwah, the assistant gaffer who joined from Medeama SC prior to the start of the season, has stated with so much optimism that Hearts of Oak will never be relegated. 

"No, it will never happen. It is too early for anyone to say Hearts of Oak will be fighting relegation, even though we didn’t start very well.

"Last season, some teams were at the top of the table after four or five matches, but by the end of the season, they were nowhere to be found. Hearts of Oak will never be relegated."

The 21-time champions will host another stubborn side in Bechem United in match-week 3 of the 2024/25 Ghana Premier League.
