BREAKING: Christopher Ennin Set to Leave FC Samartex Amid Hearts of Oak Links

By Emmanuel Austin Baah On Jun 9, 2026

FC Samartex head coach Christopher Ennin has officially informed the club of his intention not to continue in his role beyond the current season, sparking fresh speculation about a potential move to Ghanaian giants Hearts of Oak.

Sources close to the situation indicate that the highly-rated tactician has submitted a formal letter to the club’s management, communicating his decision to step down. However, FC Samartex are yet to approve and finalise his departure, meaning discussions between both parties remain ongoing.

Ennin’s decision comes after a notable spell with the Timber Giants, during which he played a key role in the club’s development and competitiveness in the Ghana Premier League. His work has earned widespread recognition across the domestic football scene, making him one of the most sought-after coaches in the country.

The development has intensified rumours linking the coach with a move to Hearts of Oak, who are reportedly exploring options to strengthen their technical team ahead of the new season. While no official agreement has been announced, growing speculation suggests the Phobians could be his next destination.

FC Samartex are expected to issue a formal position on the matter in the coming days as uncertainty continues over the future of one of the league’s most respected young coaches.
