In the competitive realm of Ghanaian football, few names have resonated as powerfully this season as Lord Bright Ellis. Known for his tactical brilliance and ability to inspire teams, Ellis has left an indelible mark on Division One Zone Two by managing two teams with remarkable success within a single season.
Ellis began the season with Basake Holy Stars, where his leadership and strategic acumen propelled the team to the top of the league. Under his guidance, Basake Holy Stars became a formidable force, overcoming strong teams such as New Edubiase, Elmina Sharks, Skyy FC, and Swedru All Blacks. Ellis’s tenure with the team was nothing short of spectacular, as evidenced by the following statistics:
Matches: 18
Wins: 11
Losses: 6
Draws: 1
Goals Scored: 20
Goals Conceded: 8
These impressive numbers left Basake Holy Stars in the first position when Ellis departed, setting a foundation that would eventually see the team qualify for the Premier League. His departure was a significant moment for the club, yet his legacy continues to drive their success.
After his successful stint with Basake Holy Stars, Ellis took on a new challenge with Ebusua Dwarfs, a team steeped in tradition but struggling in the seventh position with just 28 points. The arrival of Ellis was a turning point. He not only revitalized the team’s performance but also restored hope among the fans. His impact was immediate and profound, as the statistics at Ebusua Dwarfs show:
Matches: 11
Wins: 7
Losses: 2
Draws: 2
Goals Scored: 20
Goals Conceded: 9
Ellis guided the Dwarfs to third place, adding 23 points to their tally and qualifying them for the Division One Super Cup. His achievements also won the team a bus from the Ghana Football Association (GFA), a testament to his ability to deliver tangible results.
Ellis’s success this season is unparalleled, showcasing his tactical and technical prowess, his keen game-reading abilities from the bench, and his knack for making crucial substitutions. His dual accomplishments with Basake Holy Stars and Ebusua Dwarfs make him a standout coach in Division One Zone Two.
Rumors suggest that Ellis’s exceptional performance has caught the attention of Sekondi Hasaacas and Xi Wise, both of whom are reportedly considering approaching him for his services next season, provided they qualify for Division One.
Lord Bright Ellis’s journey this season is a testament to his skill and vision as a coach. His ability to transform teams and inspire players ensures that his name will be remembered and celebrated in Ghanaian football for years to come.
