Following Medeama SC’s triumph in securing their first league title with a 3-0 victory over Tamale City at Akoon Park, coach Evans Adotey has attributed their success to his predecessors, David Duncan and Umar Rabbi.
David Duncan was initially appointed as the club’s manager at the beginning of the 2022/23 season but was later dismissed due to a string of poor results. Assistant coach Umar Rabbi took over as the interim boss until Adotey assumed the role of head coach.
Adotey, acknowledging the contributions of Duncan and Rabbi, expressed his gratitude to them after clinching the title. He emphasized that the credit should be shared among all those who played a part in the team’s journey.
He further emphasized that the congratulations should not be directed solely towards him, as it was a collective effort involving all the technical staff and individuals who contributed to the team’s success.
“Nobody should blame David Duncan, Umar [Rabbi], they did a yeoman’s job, they started,” Adotey told StarTimes after annexing the title.
“I came in the halfway so it doesn’t mean I just came and won the cup.
“They gathered some points and I also continued and until this final day.
“So the congratulation is not meant for me alone, it is a collective congratulations.
“[David] Duncan part, Umar [Rabbi] is part even those all the technical men they are all part, it is not me alone.,” he added.
Medeama SC, as the league champions, will represent Ghana in the 2023/24 CAF Champions League in the upcoming season.
