Edmund Ackah, General Manager of FC Samartex, has unequivocally stated his commitment to refraining from involvement in player affairs within the club, citing a strict policy that prohibits such actions.

In an interview with Asempa FM, Ackah clarified his stance, saying, "I have never interfered in player selection at FC Samartex.

The only involvement I recall is asking questions about player selection, but I do not intervene in the process."

He emphasized that FC Samartex operates under a policy that respects and empowers the coach's autonomy, attributing their recent success in winning the Premier League to this guiding principle.

"Our policy explicitly prohibits me from doing so. We have a coach whom we empower to make decisions, and I believe this approach has contributed to our Premier League triumph," Ackah affirmed.

Despite FC Samartex's recent achievements, Ackah emphasized that their ambitions do not include direct competition with traditional powerhouses like Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak.

Acknowledging the historical significance and stature of these clubs in Ghanaian football, Ackah expressed respect for their legacy:

"While we are Ghana Premier League champions, our goal is not to rival Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak. These clubs have a deep-rooted history in our football, and we do not measure ourselves against them."

Under Ackah's leadership, FC Samartex clinched the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League title, marking a significant milestone just two seasons after their promotion to the topflight.

Looking ahead, the club is preparing for their debut appearance in the 2024/25 CAF Champions League, with Nurudeen Amadu slated to lead the team in their inaugural continental campaign.
