Former Hearts and Kotoko gaffer David Duncan is a target for Kenyan side AFC Leopards.

Duncan is without a job after parting company with Kotoko following a string of poor results in the early stages of this season’s Ghana Premier league.

The club’s Executive Chairman Saul Shyder has confirmed Dunacn has been shortlisted for the vacant job.

"We haven’t started any negotiations but his name is topmost on our list. We have already sent out the indication that he is the man we want," Shyder said.

"There is a lot going on, but Duncan will be our next coach God-willing.

"If you consider all the people who have applied, including some from Europe, there’s absolutely no doubt Duncan has a phenomenal CV.

"We know his contract with Kumasi Asante Kotoko is ended and so he is available at the moment."

The former national under 17 coach is not a neophyte to a foreign job after a brief stint with South African side Free State Stars in 2008.

Leopards have a Ghanaian in thier fold after the signing of former Hearts goalkeeper Gilbert Fiamenyo, a player Duncan worked with during his stint with the Phobians.
