Hearts of Oak head coach Didi Dramani has played down doubts about his future, insisting he continues to enjoy the full backing of the club’s hierarchy despite a difficult start to the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League season.

Dramani, who took charge ahead of the current campaign, has come under increasing scrutiny after the Phobians struggled for consistency during the first round of the league. Performances failed to match expectations, leaving pressure on the former Black Stars assistant coach.

That pressure eased slightly at the weekend, as Hearts opened the second half of the season with a narrow but valuable 1-0 win over relegation-threatened Hohoe United. The victory offered a timely lift and a platform to rebuild confidence.

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ultimate Sports Show, Dramani was clear that his relationship with the club’s leadership remains strong.

“It’s the board that employed me, so if they were not happy with me, they would have informed me to quit or sacked me,” he said. “For me, what is important is that we always meet, regardless of a win or a loss.”

Dramani stressed the importance of open dialogue and self-improvement, describing a coaching approach built on reflection rather than blame.

“We need to evaluate what we are doing so we can share ideas. It should not always be one-sided. I always want to learn and improve on what I do as a coach,” he added.

Hearts of Oak will now look to build on their latest result when they host Dreams FC in their Matchday 19 fixture on Sunday at the University of Ghana Stadium, as Dramani seeks to turn belief into sustained momentum.
