Accra Great Olympics have announced the appointment of Eric Alagidede as their new General Manager, ushering in a new era ahead of the upcoming football season.

Alagidede, one of Ghana’s rising football administrators, officially assumed the role on Friday, July 11, 2025. He takes over from seasoned executive Oloboi Commodore, marking a significant shift in the club’s leadership structure.

Known for his dynamic and forward-thinking approach, Alagidede has earned widespread recognition for his transformative work at Nsoatreman FC. His tenure there saw the club achieve historic success, including winning the MTN FA Cup and making their debut appearance in the 2023/24 CAF Confederation Cup.

The former Director of Communications at Karela United now steps into a pivotal role at Great Olympics, tasked with leading both operational and strategic reforms. His blend of experience, modern football administration expertise, and a results-oriented mindset is expected to drive the club’s long-term ambitions.

Great Olympics—two-time champions of the Ghana Premier League—are eyeing a swift return to the top flight after being relegated two seasons ago alongside Bofoakwa Tano and Real Tamale United. The club’s 9th-place finish in last season’s Division One League, where they accumulated 41 points, highlighted the need for renewed direction and energy at the administrative level.

Alagidede’s mandate includes implementing a sustainable management model, improving operational efficiency, and restoring the Wonder Club’s stature as a competitive and financially stable force in Ghanaian football.

His arrival signals optimism for supporters and stakeholders alike, who hope his proven track record and fresh leadership will inspire Great Olympics’ return to the Premier League next season.
