Joe Nana Adarkwa Steps Down as Ampem Darkoa Ladies Head Coach After Nine Years
In a surprise move, Joe Nana Adarkwa has announced his departure as head coach of Ampem Darkoa Ladies, a position he held for nine years. The decision, which takes effect immediately, will see Adarkwa take a sabbatical for the remainder of the 2024/25 season.
During his tenure, Adarkwa led Ampem Darkoa Ladies to unprecedented success, including two Women's Premier League titles in 2022 and 2023. He also guided the team to victory in the Women's FA Cup two seasons ago and led them to win gold at the WAFU Women's Champions League. Additionally, Adarkwa led the team to a respectable fourth-place finish in the TotalEnergies CAF Women's Champions League Cote D'Ivoire.
In a heartfelt farewell letter, Adarkwa expressed his gratitude and appreciation for the opportunity to coach and mentor the team. He praised the players' dedication, passion, and perseverance, which inspired him throughout his tenure. Adarkwa also acknowledged the progress the team made together, the challenges they overcame, and the memories they created.
While Adarkwa's next move is uncertain, he will continue to focus on his national U-17 job, where he recently guided the Black Maidens to WAFU B U-17 Girls' Cup glory. A decision on his future plans is expected to be made soon.
Adarkwa's departure marks the end of an era for Ampem Darkoa Ladies, who will now embark on a new chapter under new leadership. The team's management will likely begin the search for a new head coach to fill the void left by Adarkwa's departure.
As the football community bids farewell to Adarkwa's tenure at Ampem Darkoa Ladies, his legacy and contributions to the team's success will not be forgotten. His dedication, expertise, and passion for the sport have left an indelible mark on the team and the Ghanaian football landscape.
