[6] [7] He served as interim coach after Tom Strand left the club, [4] [5] and later doubled as head coach of the club and technical director from 2016 to 2017 especially during the 2017 Ghana Premier League. [8] [9] [10] During his 4-year period with the club as interim head coach, assistant coach and technical director, he helped the club to win two Ghana FA Cup in 2013 and 2015 and the Ghana Super Cup in 2016. [4] [11] [12]

Ghana national teams

Adotey served as coach for the Ghana women's national under-17 football team, the Black Maidens from 2014 to 2019, in the process leading the team to three consecutive quarter-final place in three FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup campaigns. [13] In January 2020, he was appointed as the 1st assistant coach of the Ghana national under-20 football team to Abdul-Karim Zito. [1] [2] [14]

Karela United

On 14 April 2020, Karela United announced the appointment of Adotey as the team's new head coach succeeding Enos Adepa who had left the club via a mutual agreement in March. [15] [2] [13] The club was 17th on the 2019–20 Ghana Premier League table with 11 points at the time of his appointment, following a 15-game run in which they won only two league matches while losing seven and drawing four before the league was suspended in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. His main task was to get the club out of the relegation zone if the league resumed, but it was later cancelled in July 2020. [1] [2] [16]

In February 2021, Adotey was named coach of the month for January 2021, and Karela United striker Diawisie Taylor also being named player of the month after an impressive performance in which the club won three matches, drew one, and lost one out of five matches in the month of January.
