‘It’s not normal’ – Hearts boss Ouattara blasts unprofessional contracts in Ghana football

Hearts of Oak head coach, Aboubakar Ouattara, has ripped into football administrators for the kind of contracts players in the Ghana Premier League sign.

According to him, 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 during a media briefing on Thursday, July 25. “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.
