Karela United head coach, Nurudeen Amadu, has expressed confidence that his team will avoid relegation by the end of the 2024/25 Ghana Premier League season.

Despite a challenging season with only 6 wins, 7 draws, and 12 losses from 25 matches, leaving them in 15th place with 25 points, Amadu is determined to ensure Karela stays in the top division.

Amadu, who took over the team ahead of the second round, stressed that his primary goal was to keep Karela in the league, a task he is committed to fulfilling.

“There’s no way I’ll lead this team to relegation,” Amadu told Graphic Sports. “I’ve done it before with King Faisal, and I’m ready to do it again with Karela United.”

Acknowledging that Karela’s squad is not as strong as some of the other teams, Amadu highlighted that the club plans to strengthen the team with experienced players for the upcoming season.

“The team is not very strong compared to others in the Premier League, but I am here and determined to help Karela escape relegation — which was why I was brought in,” he explained.

Amadu remains optimistic, especially with Nsoatreman FC already relegated. He pointed out that only two teams will drop, and he is confident Karela will not be among them.

“It is possible we can escape relegation because now that Nsoatreman is gone, there are only two teams to join them and we will not be among the two teams,” he said.

Karela United will look to keep their survival hopes alive when they face Aduana FC in their Matchday 27 fixture at the Aliu Mahama Stadium on Sunday.
