The Tarkwa-based club has been impressive in the ongoing campaign and currently sits top of the Premier League table with 46 points.

The Yellow and Mauve have also advanced to the semi-finals of the MTN FA Cup after securing a 3-0 victory over Attram De Visser Academy and will now face Dreams FC.

Speaking to Medeama FM, Mr Essilfie expressed strong confidence in the team’s ability to deliver both silverware.

“We are on course to win a historic double this season. We went through a spell of about five matches where we struggled to score, but I believe that issue has now been resolved. We’re now scoring, and we hope that momentum continues for us,” he said.

Medeama shifts attention to the league as they go away to Dreams FC on Sunday, March 22, as they keep pushing to win the Premier League title.

Mr Essilfie resigned from his role on Friday, two days before the side’s trip to Techiman Eleven Wonders in the matchday three games of the 2021/22 Ghana Premier League games.

Essilfie’s resignation has opened up a can of worms amid a reported confusion that has hit the club’s top hierarchy in recent months.

“It has been the greatest privilege to serve Medeama Sporting Club for 13 wonderful years,” Essilfie said after his resignation.

“However, I have always been conscious of the fact that, as a member of staff, I was always just a temporary custodian of this marvellous institution.

“I worked with an amazing and hardworking staff who will continue to raise the image of this great club high.

“I am extremely grateful to the president, board, management and supporters for their unflinching support over the years. It has been ups and downs, but I will cherish every memory for the rest of my life.

“It’s an appropriate time for someone to pick up the baton and continue to serve this badge,” he added.

During his tenure, the Mauve and Yellows won two FA Cup titles and played in the CAF Confederation Cup on two occasions, featuring in the group stage in 2016.

He has been instrumental in the enviable brand and image of the Tarkwa-based side.

Prior to his appointment at the club, he was an engineer at Consar Limited and worked as a supervisor at Taysec Construction Limited.

He is also a former engineer at Desimone Construction Limited and a consultant at Civil works.
