"Seth Hoffman has taken charge as the temporal head coach and so he is still acting in that capacity."

"We are happy with his work that he has started and he is doing. He is enjoying support from everybody. When the time comes for a coach to be appointed and the board decide that it has to be him, why not? we want somebody who can get it done and we are happy with Hoffman.

We, Hearts Oak are still training, we've missed so much, we don't know the time the league will resume, We dont want down the morale of the players, we want to continue to prepare them, we've played some friendly matches so that we will hit the ground running as soon as possible when there is a competition."
