Former head coach of Young Apostles FC, William Afoakwa, has launched a scathing attack on the club’s owner, Mr. Domfeh, describing him as unfit to run a football team and urging fellow coaches to avoid taking up roles at the club.
In an explosive statement, Afoakwa did not hold back in criticizing his former employer, alleging deep-rooted issues of disrespect and unprofessionalism at the Division One outfit.
“I will advise all coaches not to go to Young Apostles because the team owner, Mr. Domfeh, is not an honorable man to be a team owner,” Afoakwa stated. “There is nothing good at Young Apostles.”
Affoakwa highlighted a particularly shocking incident following a league match against Premier League side Karela United, where, according to him, players and members of the technical team were handed a paltry GHC 50 each as "chop money" — a gesture he says grossly undermines the dignity of professionals in the sport.
“After our game against Karela, he, Mr. Domfeh, gave the players 50 Ghana cedis each as chop money — including me, the head coach, and my three assistants,” Affoakwa said. “Of course, I refused to take the money because that is not my value.”
The coach's comments have sparked conversation within Ghanaian football circles, with many questioning the operational standards and welfare practices of clubs in the lower divisions.
Affoakwa, who had previously earned praise for his work in youth development, now finds himself at the center of a controversial fallout, potentially damaging to Young Apostles' reputation.
