Ghana’s struggling giants Asante Kotoko have asked their coach David Duncan to “step aside” until “further notice” following a series of poor runs in the premier league.

The Porcupine Warriors registered their third away defeat on Sunday after a 1-0 loss against Aduana Stars at Dormaa on matchday six. They have won just once this season.

“Management has asked Coach David Duncan to step aside until further notice and with immediate effect,” Communications Manager, Kwaku Ahenkorah, told the official website of the club 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” on the league table with five points.

“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,” the spokesperson added.

“We will endeavour to turn the tables and send the club where it duly belongs.”
