” I’m very sure l brought bragging to Ghanaian football, because football back in the days was more of the silence type,before l came in with my boastful and over confidence talks ahead of league matches which won me the affectionate name Jose Moreno of Ghanaian soccer,” coach Duncan noted.
The astute coach in his days with Tarkoradi based outfit Hassaacas, went a whole season unbeaten before switching suits to Accra Great Olympics, which he described as a team he cuts teeth with and coaching them was phenomenal.
Duncan currently is with lower tier outfit Phar Rangers as the head coach, where he discussed is not on payroll but chose to help the team out of generosity to gain qualification to the premier league.
In conclusion to his talks, Duncan highlighted that after turning a coach has always had a followed principle, which is working with results oriented players rather than humble players,which has over the years work perfectly for him,and as a coach has never involved himself in the so called hand-shake,gift or bribe with the ideology of helping or signing a player.
