Former Super Eagles defender Ifeanyi Anaemena has announced his resignation as Sporting Director of Kun Khalifat FC, a Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) side.
The 33-year-old joined the ‘Pride of Imo’ in July 2025, following the club’s promotion to the top flight after success in the Nigeria National League (NNL) Super 8 play-off in Asaba, Delta State.
Anaemena holds the distinction of being the only defender to have won the NPFL title three times, twice with Enyimba and once with Remo Stars. Confirming his departure, he said:
“Yes, I've resigned my appointment as Kun Khalifat FC Sporting Director. It's a difficult decision, but that's the reality of life—it is very dynamic and keeps evolving.
I will eternally remain grateful to Michael Amaefule, the President of Kun Khalifat FC, for giving me the opportunity to serve the young and talented players in this capacity.
More importantly, he allowed me to transition from an on-field player to an administrator, for which I am deeply thankful. While I wish the club success, I also wish the fans, staff, and players the very best for the campaign.
For now, I want to rest before thinking about my next steps. I remain grateful to all my fans, supporters, and loyal followers of the club and the beautiful game. God bless you all.”
During his illustrious career, Anaemena featured for FC Ifeanyi Ubah, Enyimba, Rivers United, and Remo Stars, in addition to having spells in Europe. Kun Khalifat FC will now begin the search for a replacement to oversee the club’s sporting operations.
