Former Ashgold and Free State Stars coach David Duncan is in the fray to succeed Isaac Opeele Boateng as coach of Tema Youth, the Premier League side.
Sources close to Tema Youth say negotiations are at an early stage between Duncan and the club over a possible engagement.
Isaac Boateng resigned from the club yesterday and is due to take over as Assistant coach of Kumasi Asante Kotoko.
Tema Youth lies 2nd on the league table after seven weeks of action in the Glo Premier league. The club currently boasts of the league’s top scorer, Edward Afum, who has five goals so far.
Duncan was recently relieved off his job at South African Premier League side Free State Stars.
The official statement indicated that the coach ended his three-month romance with the club last year after a mutual agreement.
However, Duncan revealed later that his departure from the club was due to a sponsorship contract the club secured which required them to appoint a white coach.
The out spoken former national under 17 national team coach is known for his no nonsense approach to the game.
He has previously clashed with some management members of the Ghana Football Association during the Black Starlets qualification campaign to the Fifa World Cup tournament in Peru in 2007.
If the deal goes through, Duncan would join hands with the clubs technical director, James Kuuku Dadzie in managing the affairs of the team for the rest of the season.
Duncan brings to Tema Youth a wealth of experience having coached clubs including Accra Great Olympics (2001-2003), Sekondi Hasaacas (2003-2004), Obuasi Ashgold (2005-2008) and the national under 17 team, the Black Starlets between 2004-2005.
