Nana Yaw Amankwah, the assistant coach of Accra Hearts of Oak, has firmly stated that the team will not face relegation from the Ghana Premier League.
This assurance comes in response to concerns following the team’s lacklustre start to the 2024/25 season. After their first two games, the Phobian Club has yet to secure a point and is currently at the bottom of the league table.
The season began with a 1-0 loss to Basake Holy Stars, followed by a 2-0 defeat to Heart of Lions, sparking widespread criticism and fears that the club might be in danger of relegation.
Despite the troubling start, Amankwah dismissed these concerns as premature and unfounded.
“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,” Amankwah said.
"Hearts of Oak will never be relegated," he stated.
The team will be looking to turn their fortunes around as they prepare to face Bechem United in their upcoming Matchday three fixture at the Accra Sports Stadium.
