Reflecting on the team’s journey, Emmanuel highlighted the rigorous preparation and the importance of maintaining focus.

Looking ahead, Coach Emmanuel remains optimistic about the future, stating that every game opens new opportunities for the players.


“Football has been my hobby, and I always tell my players that every game opens another opportunity for them. So, if we are able to advance further in the quarter-finals, it is another opportunity, which I believe we are well-equipped to seize,” he said. He is committed to guiding Diadem Stallion FC through the quarter-finals and aims to reach the final, with the ultimate goal of winning the 1XBet Cup.
