Olympics would start stronger next year - Duncan

Coach David Duncan of Accra Great Olympics has expressed confidence that his team would start next year’s premier league on a stronger note.

Speaking to the GNA Sports, coach Duncan said he is hoping to put an end to the era where the club wallows in the relegation zone before picking up later in the league since that trend might not augur well for them.

Coach Duncan said "If the playing body and the management team would be supportive as they exhibited this year, then Olympics would enjoy a successful season".

Commenting on the performance of the team this year, the coach said although his club did not win laurels, he was happy with the general out put of the team. He said they could have done better by placing third, but bad officiating especially in away matches affected their performance, hence their fourth slot on the league table.

The Coach who took over from coach J.E. Sarpong and managed to transform the team to a win some side said they could have easily won their matches against Hearts, Kotoko, Goldfields and other teams but for poor officiating.

He commended his boys for putting up a good fight in the league though most of them did not start the league with them. On the future of the team, he said some players would be recruited to make the team formidable next season.
