Nii Odartey Lamptey has left his role as the head coach of Elmina Sharks who lie 15th on the Ghana Premier League log with 4 points.
The Ex-Black Stars player resigned following their 3-1 defeat to Eleven Wonders in the matchday 5 fixture on Sunday.
According to Odartey Lamptey, he had to resign due to the poor attitude of his players
“Some of the old players decided to sabotage me because they were not getting playing time,” he told Ahomka FM.
The former Ghana international rescued Elmina Sharks from relegation last season after taking over from Yaw Acheampong halfway last season.
It would be recalled that Elmina Sharks last season dispelled rumours that its head coach, Nii Odartey Lamptey has quit.
In a statement to the media, the Elmina-based club said the assertion that the coach has resigned is mere fabrication.
"The management and technical team of Elmina Sharks have noticed with grave concern, news going round various radio stations and social media that our Head Coach Nii Odartey Lmptey has resigned," a club statement read
"We want to state unequivocally that Nii Odartey Lamptey is still at post as the Head Coach of the Fearsome Sharks.
'We urge our players, supporters, stakeholders and the general public to disregard such fabricated story obviously aimed at disrupting the good works being done so far", the statement said.
However, Odartey Lamptey has left the club after 5 matches in the ongoing 2021/22 Ghana Premier League.
