Coach of the local Black Stars Ibrahim Tanko has categorically denied reports linking him with a move to Ghanaian giants Accra Hearts of Oak,

The former U-23 trainer says he has no knowledge about such and move and questioned where those rumours were emanating from.

Reports in the local media has linked Ibrahim Tanko with the Accra Hearts of Oak job as pressure is gradually mounting on interim trainer Edward Nii Odoom.

Hearts of Oak on Sunday could only draw with in form Elmina Sharks with their home form leaving a lot to be desired and it appears the Phobians are in the market for a new gaffer but Tanko has dismissed assertions that he is in talks to take over the Hearts of Oak job.

The reports further states that he will be working with Stephen Appiah in his new role with the phobians.

"I am completely in the dark over what I am hearing. I have not had any discussion with Hearts and so please disregard it," he told GHANAsoccernet.com on Monday morning.

"I have not even seen Stephen (Appiah) for a long time to talk about holding meetings to take over.

"There is no iota of truth in it and so must be disregarded.

Ibrahim Tanko led the U-23 men's team to Egypt where they failed to secure qualification to the summer Olympics in Tokyo and has since been handed the Black Stars B job on a permanent basis.
