The assistant coach of Accra Hearts of Oak, Nana Yaw Amankwah, has confidently stated that the team will never face relegation and dismissed any early claims suggesting otherwise.

His comments follow Hearts' poor start to the season, having failed to secure a win in their opening two matches.

The Phobians suffered a shock defeat at home to debutants Basake Holy Stars in their first game, and their struggles continued with a 2-0 loss to Heart of Lions in their second fixture.

These results have led to widespread criticism, with some suggesting that the club may be relegation-bound.

However, Amankwah strongly disagrees with such conclusions, calling them 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.

Hearts of Oak are currently at the bottom of the league table after two consecutive defeats.

They will be looking to turn things around in their next match on 20th September at the Accra Sports Stadium.
