Coach Annor Walker has departed Samartex FC following a mutual agreement between the club and the veteran coach.
Walker had joined the club at the start of the previous season, coming from Great Olympics.
After securing promotion to the top flight from the Division One League, Samartex brought in Walker with the aim of establishing a solid foundation for the team to compete with the top clubs.
During his tenure, Walker guided Samartex to a respectable finish in the top ten, accumulating 46 points from 34 matches.
However, the club and the coach have now reached a mutual agreement to part ways after just one season together.
Following the departure of 62-year-old coach Annor Walker, FC Samartex has initiated a search for a suitable replacement. The club confirmed the news through an official statement on Twitter.
Walker, who previously led the Black Galaxies to the quarter-finals of the 2022 African Nations Championship (CHAN) in Algeria, where they were eliminated by Niger, has been rumored to be a potential candidate for the coaching position at 2020/21 Ghana Premier League champions, Hearts of Oak.
Hearts of Oak is currently seeking a permanent replacement for Serbian coach Slavko Matic.
As FC Samartex begins their search for a new coach, the club will be aiming to find a suitable candidate who can continue the progress made under Walker’s guidance.
