Berekum Chelsea, once an emerging third-force in the Ghana Premier League (GPL), today, trails in a pool of uncertainty yet tilting towards past glory as they seek redemption to escape relegation.
With a glaring plummet in an inconsistent 2024/25 Ghana Premier League campaign, resulting in Berekum Chelsea ending their league season with an aggregated 44-points after thirty-eight games and securing the 12th position on the table last season.
Srutinizing Berekum Chelsea’s 2025/26 First-Half Campaign:
“We officially announce the appointment of Mr Samuel Boadu as the new gaffer of the club. Coach Boadu brings on board his rich experience and expertise,” these were the exact words stipulated in Berekum Chelsea’s club statement released in March 2024, midway into the season.
Coach Samuel Boadu en route to the start of his tenure as Berekum Chelsea’s head coach, had harnessed inkling notes of the Bono based club’s performances. To be fair, Chelsea were sixth on the league log, five points behind league leaders, with a whooping fifteen games remaining to be played.
However, the former Hearts of Oak head coach under his auspices led the team to securing no trophies, ending the season with make believes as many hoped, including stakeholders of the club, the former GPL winner could lead them back into their glory old days.
Has Coach Boadu been Underwhelming?
Certainly, for a side that has failed to register a win in their last five away outings, loosing four and settling for a draw whiles been motioned into the relegation battle conversation with just one point above the relegation zone after 23-match day games in the 2025/26 season.
Ample time has been awarded to Coach Samuel Boadu to imbibe his football ideologies into his team after being appointed two seasons ago yet, not being oblivious to the facts that, Berekum Chelsea as a club has not managed transfer issues in the club properly.
After every juncture of the opening of every transfer market, Berekum Chelsea have unduly lost one or more of their most influential lads to top-performing xlubs in the Ghana Premier League.
Highlighting the thin financial muscles of the 2010/11 Ghana Premier League winners. Plus, denting the poor managerial board in charge of the club as the club since representing Ghana in the CAF inter-club competitions have performed woeful both on and off the field.
Should Berekum Chelsea Move On From Coach Samuel Boadu?
reviewing who steps in as a stop-gap or interim coach until the end of the season, the chances are that, sacking Coach Booadu will only deepen Berekum Chelsea’s predicaments as their chances of walking into Division-One will become more realistic.
Meanwhile, keeping Coach Samuel Boadu beyond next season will only highlight the trajectory of a club which once had the capacity to play at the highest level yet, have now become victims of bad managerial lapses.
To it, Berekum Chelsea as a club should review their the performances of both the playing body, technical handlers and managing board of the teams – accessing the club’s lapses and professing workable solutions for the club to regain their status as arguably, the third-force ahead of giants like Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak in the Ghana Premier League.
