Head coach of Hearts of Oak, Aboubakar Ouattara, has admitted the club is facing internal problems which hampered their 2023/24 season.

According to him, the club's board or management should be the ones to blame for the state of the club but rather they should need to find solutions to their 'internal' issues.

Hearts finished in the bottom half of the Ghana Premier League table last season and survived relegation on the final day.

Addressing the media on Thursday, July 25, Aboubakar openly acknowledged the problems at the club stating where it all began.

"Last season, after the game against Bofoakwa Tano at WAFA Park, our problems started," said the Ivorian.

"The issues were internal and not with the board or management but within the playing body itself."

"We’re trying to solve it. Sometimes it’s personal problems between the technical team and the players and also among the players themselves. The resignation of the goalkeeper coach worsened the situation.”
