Sunset Sports Keta, Ghana’s most decorated beach soccer club, has officially confirmed the appointment of former Ghana Beach Soccer national team captain, Sema Michael Sedziafa, as the club’s new head coach. This development marks a significant milestone in the club’s history, bringing back one of its most iconic figures to lead a new era.
Sema Michael, widely regarded as one of the finest players in the history of Ghanaian beach soccer, returns to the club where he first rose to prominence both domestically and internationally. A seasoned veteran of the game, he holds the record for the most appearances with the national team and famously led Sunset Sports Keta to Ghana’s only international beach soccer title — the prestigious African Club Challenge at Copa Lagos in 2019.
His appointment comes as part of a strategic restructuring within the club’s technical department. Coach Julius Ceasar Beckley, who successfully guided the club through multiple triumphant campaigns, has been promoted to the position of Technical Director. In this new role, he will be responsible for overseeing the club’s broader technical development and tactical direction.
Club Chairman, Dzidodo Ruben Adjahoe, expressed his confidence in the new leadership, stating:
“Sema Michael’s leadership, discipline, and profound knowledge of the game make him the ideal candidate for this role. We are thrilled to have him lead the same team he once captained with such pride and distinction.”
Sema has in recent years pursued a career in coaching and football development, demonstrating a strong commitment to nurturing talent and advancing the sport. His appointment is seen as a bold step towards restoring Sunset Sports’ dominance in the domestic league and returning to the continental stage.
Speaking on his new role, Coach Sema remarked:
“It is a true honour to return to the club that moulded my career. My aim is to build on the solid foundation laid by Coach Beckley and inspire the next generation to believe that anything is possible.”
Sunset Sports Keta is expected to commence pre-season training under the new technical set-up, with optimism running high among supporters and players as the club embarks on this exciting new chapter.
