The Turkish trainer, who was brought on board to help rescue Hearts of Oak from relegation last season, believes the powers that be will send the side into a nosedive - if things don't change.

With five games to go last season, Vanli was recruited as an attaché to caretaker Eddie Ansah when Hearts were staring down the barrel of relegation. In the end, he helped the side escape the drop.

However, Hearts have stopped short of elevating him to a status of head coach, settling on Japanese-American Kenichi Yatsuhashi. Vanli now feels ill-treated by the team management has blasted them, stating that they will condemn the Phobians to relegation, if not removed from office.

"When I came to Hearts of Oak, the management tried everything to stop me. They wanted to get rid of me from the team and if this management are still in post I’m very sure Hearts will be in the first division, I’m 200% sure.

"I’m very sad to say the club is still having this management at post."
