Former Nigeria international Ifeanyi Emmanuel Ekwueme has resigned from his position as Sporting Director of Enyimba International Football Club, effective immediately.

 

In a resignation letter addressed to the club through its Chairman, Ambassador Kanu Nwankwo (Papilo), Ekwueme said the decision was taken with mixed emotions, bringing an end to his three-season tenure with the Aba-based club.

 

Reflecting on his time at Enyimba, the former midfielder described his tenure as one marked by both successes and challenges. He expressed disappointment over situations in which, according to him, others carried out his responsibilities while he was held accountable for the outcomes.

 

Despite the circumstances surrounding his departure, Ekwueme expressed appreciation to the Abia State Government and the club’s leadership for the opportunity to serve.

 

He specifically thanked Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Chioma Otti, and Chairman Ambassador Kanu Nwankwo for their support throughout his time at the club.

 

Ekwueme, who represented Nigeria at international level, joined Enyimba’s management with the aim of contributing to the club’s sustained success and dominance in Nigerian football.

 

His resignation leaves a vacancy within Enyimba’s technical leadership structure as the club prepares for the remainder of the season.

 

Further details regarding a replacement or possible restructuring of the sporting department are yet to be announced by Enyimba International FC.
