Rodney Michael has officially stepped down as Chairman of Mighty Blackpool Football Club, citing principles as the reason behind his decision.
His resignation marks the end of a significant tenure at one of Sierra Leone’s most historic football clubs.
Michael, a well-respected football administrator, has played a key role in shaping Sierra Leonean football over the years. He has previously served in various leadership positions within the football community, including roles in the Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA).
His leadership at Mighty Blackpool was instrumental in stabilizing the club and fostering a competitive spirit within the Sierra Leone Premier League.
While the exact circumstances surrounding his resignation remain unclear, it comes just after the President of the SLFA was arrested by the Anti-Corruption Commission on graft charges.
