Our target is to avoid relegation next season - Hearts of Oak coach Aboubakar Ouattara

Hearts of Oak coach, Aboubakar Ouattara has revealed that their aim and objective next season is to avoid relegation.

The Rainbow Club had a poor campaign last season having finished 14th with 45 points.

Hearts of Oak fought back to record a 3-2 win against Bechem United on the final day of the season to secure their Premier League status.

However, ahead of next season, the Ivorian manager says his aim is to build a good team that will avoid relegation.

"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," Ouattara said in a press conference on Thursday.

"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.

Hearts of Oak have so far signed goalkeeper Benjamin Asare, Samuel Amofa and former Nations FC duo Asamoah Boateng Afriyie and Michael Awuah Mensah.
