Former coach of Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko, David Duncan refuses to confirmed or deny speculation linking him to the vacant Black Stars coaching job.

The Ghana Football Association are yet to announce the successor to coach Avram Grant, who mutually decided against continuing with the team just after the end of this year's Africa Nations Cup in Gabon.

Many local football pundits have called on the nation's football governing body to consider appointing an indigenous coach to lead the team.

The outspoken coach, who many believe to be in the bracket of local coaches who should be considered for the vacant position, was reluctant to give his firm interest in the job when quizzed on Happy FM's Anopa Bosuo Sports, "I believe the people running our football are not foreigners, therefore it's time to reason that in the breath local coaches can do the job. "

"There's no player currently in the Black Stars that when I started coaching in 2002 was playing in abroad. The players in the team are not above me to handle because most of them passed through me in their formative years."
