Hearts of Oak midfielder, Gladson Awako beleives the frequent change of coaches affected their performance last season.
The Phobians started the season with Samuel Boadu in charge as the head coach but was sacked midway through last season.
Boadu was replaced by Serbian trainer, Slavko Matic on a two-year deal. However, the 47-year-old was forced to leave his role following a defeat against Great Olympics.
Matic was chased out of the training grounds by the fans due to a poor run of results.
Assistant coach of the side, David Ocloo was named as the interim coach until the end of the season.
Ocloo steered the side to finish the season on the 12th league log with 47 points.
However, Awako beleives the frequent change of coaches affected them. According to him, coaches need time to implement their style and philosophy.
"Too many changes in coaching impacted negatively on our performance last season. We started with Samuel Boadu, then later Matic who didn't last long, followed by David Ocloo. All these coaches had different philosophies which warranted time for players to adapt and this affected our performance," he told Kumasi-based Akoma FM.
"We were improving under Matic, it was just unfortunate that he left, David Ocloo tried his best but because the pressure was too much it couldn't work.
"Coaches need time, you can't appoint them and expect magic or instant results, so I feel the changes on the technical side and injuries affected our performance.
"Yes, the departure of Slavko Matic really affected us and it didn't help at all. Before Matic, we were at the 12th position but we moved to the 3rd position with him in charge and now see where we ended the season," he added.
On Wednesday, the club announced that they have mutually parted ways with David Ocloo after just a season.
Hearts of Oak are in talks with Laryea Kingston to take over the club as the new head coach.
