Hearts of Oak head coach, Aboubakar Ouattara, has slammed football administrators in the country for the kind of contracts players in the Ghana Premier League sign.
Speaking at a press conference, the Ivorian manager said the nature of the contracts agreed between clubs and players is not professional and does not happen anywhere.
In recent times, players have left Ghanaian clubs at crucial times of the season due to the contracts they signed when joining and Ouattara didn't shy away from bashing them.
“It’s only in Ghana that I see a player’s contract end in September or December," he said.
"It’s not normal for a contract to end just a week before the league starts. It’s not professional."
Ouattara is determined to fine-tune Hearts' squad not to repeat their performance from the 2023/24 season where they finished in the bottom half of the table.
Hearts of Oak have so far signed goalkeeper Benjamin Asare, Samuel Amofa and former Nations FC duo Asamoah Boateng Afriyie and Michael Awuah Mensah as they hope to improve their performance ahead of the upcoming 2024/25 Ghana Premier League season.
