Asante Kotoko have moved to squash circling rumours that David Duncan will be returning to the club next week to continue as head coach. 

Duncan was told to step aside after leading the side to the foot of the table in April.

But management has made it clear that the former AshantiGold and Hearts of Oak's reign has ended.

A statement of the club's website read: "The attention of Kotoko Express’ editorial team has been drawn to a WhatsApp group publication suggesting that, Coach David Duncan, who was asked to step aside by the management of Kotoko in April this year is returning to the club next week.

"The publication attributes that piece of bogus information to Kotoko Express, which specific edition, it however fails to mention. We state categorically that, Kotoko Express has not published anything to that effect.

"We are disappointed that, colleague journalists with fertile minds will choose to waste it by peddling complete falsehood. The last Kotoko Express publication on Coach David Duncan was in the first week of April 2016. It was about management’s decision directing him to step aside.

"We have since not done any publication on Coach Duncan. We see the clear attempts to needlessly malign our hard won reputation or throw dust into the eyes of Kotoko supporters.

"Coach Michael Osei, whose handling of the team has ensured progress in the last eight league matches is doing well. We offer him our total support. We further appeal to Kotoko supporters to dismiss the story as it lacks common sense.

"Michael Osei and his technical assistants are still in-charge albeit in an interim capacity.

"Coach David Duncan, management makes us understand, is not returning to the club. "
