Newly appointed Hearts of Oak coach, Herbert Addo has
revealed his plans for the Phobians saying he will need to assess the current crop
of players in the team before procuring any new player into his set up.
The former Inter Allies trainer who signed a two year deal
with the Rainbow Club is yet to make any signings after being confirmed as the
new head coach for the former Ghana Champions last Thursday.
Several reports indicate
that the ex-Aduana Stars and Asante Kotoko coach has tabled down a list of
players to the Hearts of Oak management team since he was signed on by the
club.
But the astute Ghanaian tactician in an interview with Oman
FM refuting those reports saying he will need to assess the current players
before making any signing.
“I will need to assess the players in the team first before
trying to make any signing. I am sure the players there are all good in their
own way”.
“I don’t have any player in mind at the moment. If I go and
Hearts need a striker or a goal scorer we will look for one or I will try and
convert a player who can score”.
“If you have a team you need to look around and make use of
what you have as a coach. I didn’t have any player in mind when I went to Inter
Allies but at the end we placed sixth, I just studied and monitored the players’
available and made use of them. For me, maybe I might use the current players
at the moment, or we will go to the higher level by getting in one or two
players”.
The 63-year-old will be making a second-coming to the Club
after coaching them in the 2003/04 season where he led Hearts of oak to
unbeaten run in the league.
The former Black Stars coach also helped Inter Allies
escape relegation and guided them to the MTN FA Cup finals in the 2013/14
season.
