Eric Alagidede resigns as Great Olympics General Manager after eight-month spell

Accra Great Olympics have been rocked by the sudden resignation of General Manager Eric Alagidede, who has stepped down from his role with immediate effect, GHANAsoccernet.com can exclusively confirm.

The respected football administrator brings his tenure at the capital-based club to an abrupt end after just eight months in charge, leaving supporters and stakeholders surprised at a critical stage of the season. While the circumstances surrounding his decision remain unclear, sources indicate that Alagidede opted to part ways with the struggling Division One League side amid off field issues.

Alagidede officially joined the “Dade Boys” on July 11, 2025, tasked with overseeing a strategic and operational rebuild following the club’s relegation from the Ghana Premier League. His appointment was widely viewed as a major coup for Olympics, given his growing reputation as one of Ghana’s most astute young football executives.

Before his move to the Accra-based side, Alagidede enhanced his credentials with an impressive stint at Nsoatreman FC, where his administrative leadership contributed significantly to the club’s rise and stability. He also previously served as Director of Communications at Karela United FC, further cementing his standing within the domestic football landscape.

At Olympics, Alagidede was central to efforts aimed at restoring the club’s competitive edge and restructuring its football operations. His brief tenure saw attempts to strengthen internal systems, improve administrative efficiency and lay the groundwork for a return to top-flight football.

Accra Great Olympics FC, two-time Ghana Premier League champions, were relegated two seasons ago alongside Bofoakwa Tano and Real Tamale United. Since then, the club has struggled to regain stability and consistency. Rather than mounting a strong promotion push, Olympics have found themselves battling near the lower end of the Division One League table ,uncomfortably close to a potential drop into the country’s third tier.
