The Phobians’ fortunes have been on a decline since they were crowned league and FA Cup champions three years ago.
Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe backs Hearts to overturn things within 5 years
The Accra-based club finished just one point above the relegation zone after winning only four out of their last 12 matches of the campaign.
Off-the-pitch, however, the club’s multi-purpose complex at Pobiman is almost complete, while their clubhouse is also taking shape.
Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe noted that the club was building a long-term project and assured that the supporters would soon be proud of the investments.
“I can assure you that within the next five years, you will not believe (the improvement), the standard of football alone at Hearts of Oak and its performances within and outside Africa will shock a lot of people,” he told Joy Sports.
“It is a long-term project and I will tell the supporters that we are building something they will one day be proud of.”
The Phobians took on rivals Heart of Lions in the cup game, which was organised by the Gbese Mantse at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Having drawn 1-1 in regulation time, the game stretched to extra time, where Hearts triumphed 8-7 in the shootout.
