Hearts of Oak part ways with coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani after one season

Ghana Premier League giants Accra Hearts of Oak have officially announced the departure of head coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani and his technical team following the conclusion of the 2025/26 football season.

In an official statement released on Tuesday, May 26, the Phobians confirmed that the decision was taken after a comprehensive technical review by the club’s board.

“Hearts of Oak SC wishes to announce that, following a comprehensive technical review of the 2025/26 football season, the Board has decided to part ways with the Technical Team led by Coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani,” the statement read.

The club expressed appreciation to Dramani and his backroom staff for their professionalism, commitment and service during their time at the club.

Under Dramani’s guidance, Hearts finished third in the just-ended Ghana Premier League season, narrowly missing out on the league title and continental qualification spots.

The former Asante Kotoko coach was appointed on a two-year deal in June 2025 as part of the club’s rebuilding process.

Despite showing signs of improvement throughout the campaign, the club’s hierarchy has opted for a new technical direction ahead of next season.

The statement further revealed that the team and players are currently on recess while the board works on the club’s future technical structure.

“The Board will, in due course, communicate the technical direction of the club as we continue to align our football philosophy with the long-term ambitions and identity of Accra Hearts of Oak SC,” the club added.

Dramani, a former assistant coach of the Black Stars and highly respected CAF instructor, leaves the club after one season in charge.
