Hearts of Oak coach, Aboubakar Ouattara has assured that they will work hard and return stronger next season.
The Rainbow Club survived relegation last season on the final day of the season. Hearts of Oak finished the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League season at the 14th position with 45 points.
A dramatic 3-2 victory in their final match against Bechem United helped the team avoid relegation.
“I can’t say it is okay. It is part of the game. We are 18 teams. Everyone is struggling to get a good position,” Ouattara told SportsObama TV.
“Unfortunately, we struggled to stay. It is part of life, part of the game. We accept that challenge. We are going to work hard to come back," he added.
The start of the ongoing season is yet to be announced by the Ghana Football Association (GFA).
However, Hearts of Oak are expected to be busy in the transfer market to bolster their squad for the upcoming campaign.
Before the season kicks off, Hearts of Oak will clash with Asante Kotoko in the maiden Democracy Cup on July 17 at the Accra Sports Stadium.
