The old days are gone, Hearts will achieve nothing in Africa- Coach Nana Agyemang

Former Eleven Wise and Okwahu United manager, Nana Agyemang, has said Ghana Premier League champions, Hearts of Oak SC, will end next season’s CAF Champions League campaign empty-handed.

The Phobians are set to make a long return in the CAF first-tier inter-club competition after winning the GPL last month while Medeama SC will possibly feature in the CAF Confederations Cup.

Speaking with Kessben FM online, the astute football pundit said Ghanaian clubs that qualifies for the CAF elite competitions does not aim for the ultimate and thus it will be a repetition of a cycle aiming at reaching the money zone and nothing else.

“At the moment they are recruiting like nobody’s business. I think the fact of the matter is our football isn’t on the level that it can actually compete in Africa.”

“Those days are gone, those days are far gone. When you have clubs that change three or four coaches during a season don’t expect them to do anything good in Africa. it doesn’t matter who goes, it could be Kotoko, it could be Hearts, it could be Medeama, it could be Berekum Chelsea, they are coming home. that’s what going to happen, they are going to come home. No one will want to win any trophy.

“And I tell what, if you ask them what their aim is they will always tell you ‘to get into the money zone’ and that’s it. When Kotoko is in Africa, what do they tell you ‘ we want to get top the money zone’ when Medeama is in there ‘we want to get into the money zone’, Berekum Chelsea ‘we want to get to the money zone’.

“They don’t have the mentality to say ‘we want to win the cup’ and so far as you don’t have that mentality, what cup is it you are going to win? What cup can you win? just want to get to the money that’s all and once you get to the money you are satisfied. So forget they will come home, that’s it. “
