Hearts of Oak head coach Aboubakar Ouattara has made it clear he will not tolerate insults from journalists, firmly stating that he is “not Jesus Christ” to simply forgive and forget.
Known for his fiery relationship with the media, Ouattara has confronted journalists during his pre- and post-match interviews in the Ghana Premier League. His latest remarks came after Hearts’ recent victory over Medeama, where he questioned the motives behind some of the media’s criticisms.
Speaking to Accra-based Hot FM, Ouattara warned that any journalist who insults or attacks him, either on air or in person, should expect a similar response.
“There are journalists who criticise me for a whole week without insulting me, and when we meet, I still speak with them because I know they’re just doing their job,” he added. “But if you insult me somewhere and I hear it, or you stand before me and speak out of line, I’m not Jesus Christ, I won’t just let it go. I will respond.”
Ouattara’s tense relationship with the media has often overshadowed his tactical work, turning his media appearances into major talking points across the country.
