Hearts head coach has hit out at his critics who have called for head after stating that the technical team is not solely accountable for the team’s woeful form.

The experienced manager was speaking after Hearts penalty shoot out victory over Kotoko in the President’s Cup. He hoped the victory will be a turning point in the Phobians' season.

“Of course it is a booster for the players.I am also happy we won the cup but the most important thing is our position on the league,” Addo told reporters.

The former Inter Allies boss then went on to address his critics, indicating they had an opaque view of the team's current state of affairs.

“Sometimes supporters think everything is technical but then they should look at the other side. A team is made up of a board of directors, management. Only about thirty per cent of how a team functions is technical.”

“The rest [comes from] directors [and] management. They have to do all the work. But in our case in Ghana, everything is technical,  [and when things aren't working, fans say] sack the coach.”

The 2010 league winning coach further hinted that sacking a coach will not totally alleviate the problems if certain elements are still in place.

“If the next coach comes and doesn’t get the facilities, the equipment all these kind of things, how are they motivated? They should stop [always calling for the head of] the coach. No problem, are you thinking about the players?”

Herbert Addo’s position is currently under threat after being given a three match ultimatum.
