He told the club’s official website: “It’s a great privilege and honour, equally excited by the challenge ahead. I am aware of the history of this great club and the passion of the fans. I am determined to develop a team capable of delivering success in Tarkwa.<\/p>\n

The club can be assured of my unflinching commitment and loyalty as I take this huge challenge. It’s exciting to return to the Ghana Premier League after a long absence. I am looking forward to working with the group and the entire football ecosystem at the club.”<\/p>\n

Medeama president Moses Armah said: “We are delighted that David has joined us for a year and hopefully we can enjoy further years of success with him. He is a top-notch coach, who has an eye for youth development as well and that excites us.<\/p>\n

“We are happy with his vision for the club, his drive and determination to achieve success for the team. We look forward to a fruitful collaboration with him to put the club at the apex of Ghanaian and African football.”<\/p>\n

Duncan has been without a club since he parted ways with giants Asante Kotoko in 2016. This present a perfect opportunity for him to re-launch his career in the Ghanaian top-flight.<\/p>\n
