Former Ghana international Nii Odartey Lamptey has expressed his disappointment after stepping down as head coach of Eleven Wonders.
Lamptey, who took charge of the club ahead of the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League season, parted ways with the team following a difficult start that saw them collect just two points from seven matches.
His departure came shortly after Eleven Wonders suffered a narrow 3-2 defeat to Nations FC over the weekend, leaving them 17th on the league table.
Speaking to Asempa FM’s Ultimate Sports Show, Lamptey clarified that his exit was entirely his decision and not due to a dismissal.
“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 said.
The former Aston Villa and Anderlecht forward explained that his decision was driven by a desire to step aside after laying a solid foundation for the team’s future.
“I’ve already made my name. This job can’t add to or take anything away from the name I’ve made. I’m just helping them out. Now, I think the foundation of the team has been laid; you can see it when they play. It’s just the way Ghana football is, but I hope things change,” Lamptey added.
Eleven Wonders are expected to announce a new head coach in the coming days as they look to revive their campaign. The struggling side will next face second-placed Aduana FC at the Nii Adjei Kraku II Sports Complex in their Matchday 8 fixture this weekend.
