The club is delighted to confirm that Head Coach Evans Augustine Adotey has signed a new three-year contract with the “Big Holy.”
The experienced tactician also coached Karela United and famously guided Medeama SC to their maiden Ghana Premier League triumph in the 2022/23 season.
Earlier in his career, Adotey served as technical director of Medeama SC, leading the Yellow and Mauves to their first-ever CAF Confederation Cup group stage appearance in 2016.
Now 60, Adotey brings a wealth of experience at both youth and senior levels. He has also served as assistant coach of the Black Queens, Ghana’s senior women’s national team.
Basake Holy Stars secured promotion to the Premier League for the first time last season and are restructuring their technical setup ahead of the 2025/26 campaign, which kicks off in September.
Adotey’s first assignment will be a home fixture against Techiman Eleven Wonders at the Nsenkyire Sports Arena (Samreboi) on Matchday 1 of the new season.
