Before the game, the club had reported Zutah’s retirement from active football.

But in an interview, Tetteh Zutah denied calling it a quit from football, saying he has rather ended his 15-year spell with Medeama.

“Reports in the media space that I have retired from football is not the case. I haven’t retired from football entirely but my 15-year stint with Medeama ended over the weekend” he said.

Zutah joined Medeama as a teenager in 2008, clocking 430 appearances, and scoring over 100 goals and assists.

He won the Ghana FA Cup twice with Medeama in 2013 and 2015.

He also featured prominently when the Yellow and Mauves made it to the group stage of the CAF Confederation Cup in 2016 after eliminating South African giants Mamelodi Sundowns.

Meanwhile, Zutah will continue his role as an administrator of the club.
