Former Hearts of Oak goalkeeper, Ebenezer Armah Dida beleives the club has been consistently let down when expatriate coaches are appointed.
According to Dida, even Ernst Middendrop whom he considers as the most successful expatriate coach of the club failed to win the Ghana Premier League title with the club.
Ahead of the start of the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League season, the Phobains have appointed Martin Koopman as the new head coach for the side.
However, Dida fears repeating this fate with the appointment of Dutchman, Martin Koopman as head coach of the club.
"I have always said this. Foreign coaches do not help us. When I checked our history, the only foreign coach who helped us was Middendrop. That was in my time but I can’t say the same for others. He (Middendrop) even failed to win the league,” Dida said.
“When Boadu (coach Samuel Boadu) came, he won two trophies with Hearts. He is a Ghanaian. So, check the history. That’s what I know.”
Hearts of Oak lost their opening game against RTU and hopes to bounce back when they host Nsoatreman FC at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday.
