Nurudeen Amadu has resigned as the head coach of FC Samartex, the current champions of the Ghana Premier League. The experienced coach, who joined the team in July 2023, decided to leave by mutual agreement after leading the team through 13 matches in the 2024/25 season. Under his tenure, FC Samartex clinched the Premier League title in the previous season. However, the current campaign has been challenging for the team, with three consecutive losses in the league and a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Bibiani GoldStars SC in the MTN FA Cup, leading to their elimination from the competition. Furthermore, FC Samartex’s debut in the CAF Champions League was cut short after a preliminary round exit at the hands of Raja Casablanca.
Assistant coach Henry Wellington will temporarily take over the coaching duties for FC Samartex until a new head coach is appointed. Currently sitting in 10th place on the league table with 17 points, the team faces Bechem United in their next Matchday 14 fixture at Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park this weekend. This change in the coaching staff comes at a crucial time for FC Samartex as they aim to regain their form and improve their performance in the league. With Amadu’s departure, the team will be looking to find a new leader who can steer them back to winning ways and continue their dominance in the league.
The decision for Nurudeen Amadu to step down reflects the challenges FC Samartex has faced this season, despite the promise shown in the previous campaign. Amadu’s resignation indicates the need for a fresh approach to take the team forward, especially with the upcoming fixtures crucial to their league standing. As FC Samartex transitions under new leadership, the focus will be on rebuilding their confidence and form, ensuring they can maintain their position in the league and build towards future success. The temporary appointment of Henry Wellington will be pivotal in stabilizing the team as they look for a permanent coach to guide them through the remainder of the season.
