The Phobian Club narrowly avoided relegation last season after fighting back to record a 3-2 win against Bechem United at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park on the season's final day.
However, speaking at a press conference organized by the club on Thursday, Ouattara outlined his priorities saying he aims to avoid relegation next season but cannot guarantee winning trophies.
"My target is to ensure we don't battle relegation next season. The supporters always want us to win, and any big team is expected to compete for trophies. But for now, our main focus is to build a solid team and avoid the relegation zone," he said.
"In football, fan agitation is normal. Man proposes, but God disposes. For instance, Wydad Casablanca and ASEC Mimosa, who are typically strong teams, have faced crises and failed to qualify for continental competitions.
"We need to focus on stability and gradual improvement. I can't guarantee a trophy next season, but I am committed to building a team that can compete and stay clear of relegation," he added.
Meanwhile, Hearts of Oak have confirmed the signing of goalkeeper Benjamin Asare, Samuel Amofa, Michael Mensah Awuah and Asamoah Boateng Afriyie.
