The Ghana Premier League seems to be generating a wonderful interest which we believe will pass as one of the best over the years.

Swedish coach, Tom Strand, who has been strongly linked to the Asante Kotoko job, leads Medeama Sporting Club to Sudan today ahead of their CAF Confederation Cup first leg tie against Al Ahly Shendi at the Shandi Stadium, close to the capital, Khartoum, on Sunday.

Despite expressing deep interest in Kotoko’s coaching job left vacant due to the ongoing crisis in the club in an interview with the Graphic Sports last week, the young coach had no option than to spearhead Medeama to Africa since he is still under contract with the Tarkwa-based club till the end of the season.

The legal representative of beleaguered Asante Kotoko coach, David Duncan, Larbi Amoah (aka Barbados), has threatened to go to court on behalf of his client if the management of Kotoko fails to rescind its decision to let his client step aside from the job.

According to him, nowhere in the contract signed between Duncan and Kotoko was it stipulated that he has to step aside in case of a disagreement or an impending dismissal.

A defiant Asante Kotoko coach David Duncan cut a lonely figure last Tuesday morning when he met an empty training grounds abandoned by his playing body and technical assistants as Michael Osei held training session at a different venue.
