Hearts of Oak will rule Africa again — Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe
EVEN before they know their opponents in this year’s CAF Champions League, Accra Hearts of Oak, have set an ambitious target of winning the continental competition next season.
The club won the ticket to represent Ghana in Africa’s most prestigious competition after they were crowned champions of the domestic league last Saturday at Sogakope.
Speaking to the Graphic Sports in an exclusive interview yesterday, a Board Member of the club, Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, reaffirmed Hearts’ determination to conquer Africa once again.
“We have done it before so it’s not something new to us. In fact, under the leadership of Nii Noi Thompson years back, we got close on two or three occasions. We played a match here in Ghana that shook everybody; it was called the Miracle of El-Wak,” he recalled.
He explained that like any other club, Hearts’ ambition was to restore their lost glory on the international stage and would look at areas where the team lacked quality and beef it up. But he maintained that the current players who had helped the club to this stage must all be part of the continental campaign.
