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.
Determined to defy a directive by the club’s management last Sunday after the club’s 0-1 loss to Aduana Stars to “step aside” while his assistant (Osei) took over, Duncan went to the club’s Adako Jachie training grounds all dressed up and ready to take the players through their paces ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash with Liberty Professionals. But to his surprise the players were busily training at the Baba Yara Stadium under the guidance of Osei.
Kumasi Asante Kotoko’s assistant coach, Michael Osei, will take charge of his first full game as the interim head of the club’s technical team when they welcome high-flying Liberty Professionals to the Baba Yara Stadium this weekend.
