It has been an incredible honour to lead this team. Together, we have faced challenges, celebrated victories, and grown stronger through every experience. I am proud of the progress we’ve made, the spirit we’ve built, and the unity we’ve shared.
To the players, I thank you all for your dedication, discipline, and relentless drive. You guys made my job fulfilling, and I will always cherish the memories we created on and off the pitch.
To the management and my backroom staff, your support and commitment made everything possible. I am grateful for the trust you placed in me and the shared vision we pursued.
And to the fans, your passion is the heartbeat of the club. You stood by us in triumph and adversity. Your belief fueled our journey, and I’ll never forget your unwavering support.
Though I am stepping away, Basake Holy Stars will always have a special place in my heart. I will continue to cheer for your success and growth from afar.
I wish the team and the entire club nothing but the very best for the future. The stars will always shine bright.
