Hearts of Oak Legend Mohammed Polo has urged the fans to give head coach Kim Grant more time as the team prepares ahead of the new season.

Grant has come under pressure and criticisms from the supporters following the team’s defeat to arch-rivals Asante Kotoko in the President Cup.

Polo has come to the defense of the coach and has asked the supporters to give him more time to restore the Phobian glory.

"Hearts of Oak supporters should give Kim Grant time to work, their behaviour towards him when losses a friendly game is not appropriate. He needs more time and this is another year for him" Polo told Kumasi based OTEC FM.

Polo further said the constant changing of coaches will not help the club.

"I know there is more pressure on the team but things will be worse if the pressure continues like this. The Changing of coaching syndrome has affected the team (Hearts). It is time for the supporters to know that football takes time and have to go through a process".
