At ACC, we’re proud to have Coach Chuks Akuneto, our UK Technical Director and Coaches Development, and Member Coaches’ Welfare Board on our team. With his vast experience, passion, and dedication, he’s made a significant impact on numerous players across all levels. Coach Chuks’ journey is a testament to his humility and commitment to football.
Despite his impressive credentials – UEFA A licensed coach, former Nigerian men’s national team player, and mentor to household names like Idion Ighalo and Isaac Success – he remains humble and focused on his craft. His work with youth players is remarkable, improving and developing their skills, even for those previously rejected by academies. His influence extends beyond the pitch, instilling confidence, discipline, and a love for the game.
We’ve witnessed Coach Chuks’ magic touch firsthand. His Oldham Athletic u18s side played some of the best football we’ve seen at that level, demonstrating that technical football can thrive even at Cat 3 level. Despite his accomplishments, Coach Chuks remains humble and dedicated to his craft. He’s an asset to ACC and the football community, and we’re grateful for his contributions.
ACC’s Founder and President, Coach Eldred Sunju-Abbey, praises Coach Chuks: “He embodies our spirit of nurturing talent and unlocking potential. His dedication to developing players is inspiring, and his impact on young footballers is a testament to the power of passion, hard work, and selflessness. We’re honored to have him as part of our ACC family and look forward to continuing our mission to shape the future of football together.”
Coach Chuks’ excellent work transcends borders and continents, impacting players, coaches, football professionals, and the wider community. At ACC, we’re proud to support and celebrate coaches like Chuks Akuneto, who make a real difference in the lives of players and the future of football.
