Nukunu FC has officially unveiled Christian Chibueze as the club’s new Head Coach, in what management has described as a bold step towards building a stronger and more competitive team for the coming seasons.
The announcement was made by the Club President, Hon. Eric Edem Agbana, who also serves as the Member of Parliament for Ketu North. In a statement issued on behalf of the club, he confirmed that Chibueze has signed a two-year renewable contract, signaling the start of a new era for the ambitious side.
Chibueze, a respected tactician in Ghanaian football, arrives at Nukunu FC with a proven record of success. His most notable achievement came during his time with Home Stars, where he played a pivotal role in guiding the club to Division One qualification. That feat won him widespread recognition as a coach capable of building winning teams and developing talent.
It is this pedigree that has earned him the nickname “Mourinho,” a nod to the Portuguese coach José Mourinho, who is celebrated globally for his tactical brilliance and competitive edge.
“The Right Man for the Job”
Club President Hon. Eric Edem Agbana expressed his excitement at Chibueze’s appointment, describing him as the right man to guide Nukunu FC into a new chapter of growth and achievement.
“We are delighted to welcome Coach Christian Chibueze to the Nukunu family,” Agbana said. “His experience, his proven record, and his passion for the game make him the right person to lead us forward. We believe his leadership will be vital as we pursue greater success both on and off the pitch.”
The President emphasized that the decision was not made lightly, but after careful consideration of Chibueze’s track record and his alignment with the club’s long-term vision. “This appointment is part of our commitment to building a solid technical foundation that will allow Nukunu FC to compete strongly and consistently,” he added.
A Vote of Confidence from the Club Owner
The club’s owner, whose investment and vision continue to shape the progress of Nukunu FC, also gave his blessing to the new appointment. In a statement of support, he said:
“Coach Chibueze’s appointment is a major step for our project. We are confident that under his leadership, the club will not only compete strongly in the near term but also build a winning culture that will last for many years. This is an investment in excellence, and we are excited about what lies ahead.”
The owner’s remarks highlight the strategic nature of the decision. For Nukunu FC, the goal is not simply about short-term results but also about establishing a legacy of consistent performance and development of young talent.
Coach “Mourinho” Speaks
For his part, Coach Chibueze expressed gratitude to the club for trusting him with such a significant role. Clearly energized by the challenge, he pledged to give his best to lead Nukunu FC into a brighter future.
“I am honored to join Nukunu FC. This is a proud moment for me, and I am determined to give my all to ensure that we achieve our goals together as one family,” he said. “Football is about teamwork, discipline, and commitment, and I promise to work hand in hand with the players, management, and supporters to bring success to this club.”
His statement struck a chord with fans and players alike, many of whom see his arrival as the beginning of a promising chapter for the team.
Building on Past Achievements
While Chibueze is best known for helping Home Stars reach Division One, his career has also been defined by his ability to spot potential in players and mold them into competitive athletes. His style is disciplined yet adaptable, often balancing defensive solidity with creative attacking football.
Analysts suggest that Nukunu FC’s decision to appoint him reflects a desire to blend experience with youthful energy. The club has in recent seasons been building a reputation for nurturing young talent, and Chibueze’s track record in development could prove crucial.
A Club with Ambition
Nukunu FC’s leadership has made no secret of its ambition to rise through the ranks of Ghanaian football. The club has invested in both infrastructure and technical staff in recent years, signaling its determination to create a sustainable model for growth.
President Agbana reiterated this ambition in his statement, saying: “Our goal is not only to compete but also to set new standards in Ghanaian football. We want Nukunu FC to be known for excellence, for discipline, and for giving opportunities to young players. Coach Chibueze shares this vision, and we believe he will help us turn it into reality.”
The club’s owner also underscored the importance of community engagement, noting that the success of Nukunu FC is tied to the support of fans and the wider football community.

With pre-season preparations already underway, Coach Chibueze is expected to meet his squad in the coming days and begin shaping the team according to his philosophy. Expectations are high, but management insists that success will be built step by step, with patience and hard work as guiding principles.
