Former Ghana international Nii Odartey Lamptey has spoken out following his resignation as head coach of Techiman Eleven Wonders, expressing calmness and confidence despite the team’s difficult start to the season.
Lamptey, who took charge of the club ahead of the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League season, stepped down after a disappointing run that saw Eleven Wonders collect just two points from seven matches. His departure followed a 3-2 defeat to Nations FC over the weekend, which left the team sitting 17th on the league table.
In an interview with Asempa FM, Lamptey clarified that his exit was a personal decision and not the result of a dismissal, as some reports had suggested.
“A lot of people called me from Kumasi saying I’d been sacked. I wasn’t sacked. I submitted my resignation letter to the club’s leadership,” he explained.
The former Aston Villa and Anderlecht forward emphasized that he had no regrets, noting that his primary goal was to build a strong foundation for the club’s future.
“I’ve already made my name. This job can’t add to or take anything away from the reputation I’ve built. I was only helping the team,” Lamptey said.
“Now, I think the foundation has been laid. You can see it in the way they play. It’s just how Ghana football is, but I hope things will change.”
Eleven Wonders are expected to announce a new head coach in the coming days as they seek to turn their season around. The team will next face Aduana FC, who currently sit second on the table, at the Nii Adjei Kraku II Sports Complex in their Matchday 8 fixture this weekend.
