Nurudeen Amadu has explained that a lack of motivation was the key factor behind his resignation as head coach of FC Samartex.
The 54-year-old coach stepped down on Tuesday, December 17, following a difficult start to the 2024/25 Ghana Premier League season.
In his first season with the club, Amadu led FC Samartex to secure the 2023/24 Premier League title.
In an interview with MAX FM, Amadu shared that he had discussed his decision with the club’s President’, Dr. Richard Diuah Nsenkyire.
He praised Dr Nsenkyire for his kindness, generosity, and understanding, adding that their conversation left a positive impression on him.
“He [Dr Richard Duah Nsenkyire] is a very kind and generous person who is also very understanding,” he said.
“I met with him on Monday on what he felt would help the team, which actually impressed me. Though he had been supportive, he tells me when I go wrong.”
Amadu went on to reveal that, the lack of motivation within the club ultimately led to his departure.
“If you are demotivated or not happy, then you’ll need to look elsewhere. Wherever you go, you’ll have to do your best,” Amadu stated.
Assistant coach Henry Wellington will temporarily take charge of the team.
Following a 1-0 loss to Heart of Lions in Matchday 13, FC Samartex will aim to bounce back when they face Bechem United in Matchday 14 at Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park this weekend.
