Medeama lost 3-1 to Sundowns in the CAF Confederation Cup first leg play-off on Saturday and following the loss the Ghanaian side announced today that the Swedish coach has gone AWOL in South Africa, and has been reported to the South African Police.
A source that was at the stadium for the game said that Strand had a bust-up with Adotey and it is alleged that blows were exchanged, following the loss to the recently crowned PSL champions.
The eyewitness said the troubled coach allegedly had a fight with his assistant coach and the two were allegedly separated by the club’s medical team.
