Hearts of Oak maintain progress after President's Cup loss

Hearts of Oak coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani refuses to panic after his team crashed out against bitter rivals Asante Kotoko. The newly appointed manager watched his squad throw away their early advantage during Sunday's President's Cup final at Accra Sports Stadium. Kotoko stormed back with two second half strikes to snatch the trophy from Hearts. Dramani had hoped to celebrate his recent two-year contract with silverware but came up empty handed. The former Black Stars assistant coach admits losing key player Osei Asibey changed everything.

The disappointed manager still believes his squad moves forward despite the painful defeat. Dramani tells reporters he feels impressed with how his players performed throughout most of the match. The coach thinks Hearts shows real promise and just needs more time to develop properly. He plans to make several tactical changes before their next major competition. The manager stays confident that his team will improve with hard work and patience.

Hearts supporters packed the stadium and cheered loudly even after their team lost the final. Dramani expressed gratitude for the incredible fan support during such a tough moment. The coach wants to see more passionate crowds like this at future matches. Hearts will travel to Nigeria for the Eko International Cup as part of their preparation plans. The tournament gives Dramani another chance to test his squad before the new season begins.
