Hearts of Oak fans clash with head coach Abubakar Ouattara after losing at Legon Cities

Hearts of Oak coach, Abubakar Ouattara suffered another defeat in their game against Legon Cities over the weekend.

The Phobians suffered a 2-0 defeat against The Royals at the Theatre of Dreams at Dawu in the Matchday 27 games.

After a barren first half, Albert Yeboah grabbed a brace as the hosts secured all three points.

Saturday's defeat means Hearts have now lost four of their last five league matches.

At full-time, a section of the travelling fans stayed behind to express their disappointment with Ouattara's team.

The Ivorian trainer then made his way to the supporters, ostensibly to listen to their concerns and offer an explanation.

Although the fans were visibly upset, things did not escalate any further as both sides passionately conveyed their thoughts.

In a video that has since gone viral, Ouattara said he had no control over the composition of the current squad since he was not responsible for the recruitment.

While some fans complained about the team's performance, others questioned his selections and singled out Thomas Winimi for his recent mistakes.

In his response, Ouattara asked for patience and support for the team.

"These are the materials I have. I do not have any players anywhere else so I have to work with them. So be patient and hear me out," he said.

However, what perhaps struck a chord with many was Ouattara’s revelation about the team’s pre-match conditions.

"Yesterday at the hotel, we did not have electricity or water," Ouattara said.

Hearts of Oak will hope to return to winning ways when they host Accra Lions at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday, April 26, 2024, in the Matchday 28 games.
