Owner and bankroller of Samartex, Richard Duah Nsenkyire, expressed his confidence in his team's triumph in the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League campaign, stating he knew they would emerge victorious from the outset.
Samartex made history over the weekend by defeating Bibiani Goldstars to clinch the league title with two games to spare.
In an interview, Mr. Duah credited their comprehensive communication strategy, player engagement, and meticulous preparation for their success.
“Our communication strategy, farewell strategy, and motivation strategy—how to get much closer to the players—played a huge role in the team’s success,” Duah stated. “We also have a players’ platform, which included the technical team, management, players' committee, and myself, where players can have direct access to me when they are unable to resolve their personal issues. Communication was very key to our GPL success.”
He added, “We decided to embark on an eight-week preseason before we played the Nsenkyire Cup. So we realized all our mistakes and found solutions before the start of the season. While other clubs were struggling in the league, we were already at our peak. We were ready for the league. In fact, we won the league in the first half of the campaign. I knew we would win because of how prepared we were. Our preparation was different from last season.”
Samartex's success will be cherished forever by the people of Sameraboi and will serve as an inspiration, as they have also qualified for the CAF Champions League.
As the 13th club to win the Ghana Premier League, Samartex's triumph marks a historic milestone and a new era for the club and their supporters.
