Technical Director of the Ghana Football Association [GFA], Bernhard Lippert is demanding for the sacking of Black Stars assistant coach, David Duncan following Black Stars 1-0 defeat to Sudan last month.

According to a report filed by Ghanasoccernet, the German tactician has questioned the technical prowess of the former Asante Kotoko head trainer.

The report further indicate that Duncan is not fit to be Black Stars deputy coach and therefore wants his exit.

Duncan, 58, replaced Ibrahim Tanko following the dissolution of all technical teams of the national teams back in January this year when the Kurt Okraku administration took over the Ghana Football Association.

But there is growing disquiet within the Black Stars technical team amid fears of suspicions and sabotage coupled with Lippert's desire to see Duncan fired.

Duncan led Ghana’s U-17 side to win silver at the 2005 African Under-17 Championship in Gambia and also worked as head coach for the Ghana U-23 in 2011.

The former Ashantigold gaffer won trophies at Ashanti Gold, Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko – Macufe Cup in 2006, GHALCA President Cup in 2013 and SWAG Cup 2015.

David Duncan has also had attachments with FC Copenhagen, Esberg FC in Denmark as well as South African outfit Free State Stars.

But it appears his association with the Black Stars is not going according to plan with moves to get him replaced set in full motion.

The Black Stars still top their group and remain in position to secure one of two qualification slots when the series resumes in March next year.

Meanwhile, Lippert was appointed as Francis Oti Akenteng's replacement in October.
