Kumasi Asante Kotoko, after a dismal start to the season, has asked head coach David Duncan to step aside with immediate effect.
The news was revealed by the club’s communication director, Kwaku Ahenkorah, to its official site.
Duncan has presided over a miserable start to the season, in which the Porcupine Warriors have won only once and lost three times. With five points from six games, the team lies dead last in the standings.
Management has therefore asked the coach to ‘step aside until further notice’. Duncan’s assistant, Michael ‘Ember Power’ Osei, would take charge in the interim.
Kwaku Ahenkorah told Asantekotokosc.com:
“The decision has become necessary after the club’s abysmal performance in the ongoing Ghana Premier League where Kotoko lies an unprecedented last position” he said.
“Assistant Coach Michael Osei takes over as head of the technical team in the interim. Management further apologises to the teeming fans of the club for the performance displayed so far.
“We will endeavour to turn the tables and send the club where it duly belongs”
