Emmanuel Agyemang Badu quits Great Olympics; fingers management

Former Ghanaian international Emmanuel Agyemang Badu has left Accra Great Olympics after just five months at the club.

The 32-year-old midfielder joined the team on a one-year deal at the beginning of the current season.

During his stint at Great Olympics, Badu played in 11 league games and was named man of the match twice.

However, the player has now revealed that he decided to part ways with the club after learning that the management sacked head coach Yaw Preko because he insisted on starting him.

Badu claims that the coach’s insistence on starting him in matches went against the management’s wishes, which led to his departure.

“I’m not sure I will return to the club again,” he told Asempa FM

“It is just unfortunate but I have heard that the management of the club has taken certain decisions against me which the coach fought against strongly,” he added.

“The decision by the coach to keep me playing cost him his job and this has been confirmed by four members of the technical team,” he added.

“The CEO of the club [Oloboi Commodore] is the one behind it,” he further stated.

The former Udinese player had previously played for clubs including Asante Kotoko, Bursaspor, and Hellas Verona.
