The Phobians last won a league title in 20008-09 season and have also failed to win any competitive trophy for the past ten years.

Ahead of a new Premier League season, Accra Hearts of Oak will be looking forward to ending their long wait for a league title, but Kim Grant has advised the team to minimize their expectation because he can’t promise them a title.

 “We are here to be competitive and try to achieve our objective of possibly bringing success to this club," Grant said, as reported by Footballmadeinghana.

“It is not going to be easy. Every game is going to be like a cup final because every club will want to beat us.

“I can’t promise the title, nobody can promise a title - not even Jose Mourinho - but what I know for sure is the team is going to do the very best, we will lose or draw.

“The team is going to have setbacks which is normal because we are not going to win every game - it's impossible.

“But what we’ll want to do is win as many games as possible and try to be at the front foot at every game and hopefully by the end of the season we will be worthy winners."

Hearts will be among 18 teams vying for the title.
