David Bruce Tetteh (born 10 August 1985) is a football coach and former player who is a coach for Dordoi Bishkek. Born in Ghana, he represented the Kyrgyzstan national team at international level.

Club career

Born in Ghana, he moved to Central Asia in 2006, playing one season in Tajikistan for Regar-TadAZ Tursunzoda. He moved to neighbouring Kyrgyzstan in 2007, on loan to local giants Dordoi, for whom he signed the following season. In 2008 Tetteh obtained Kyrgyz citizenship, which made him available for the national team five years later. By the end of the 2013 season, Tetteh reached the milestone of scoring at least 100 goals in Kyrgyzstan League and Cup matches.{{cite news|publisher=Vecherniy Bishkek|title=Футбол: в Клуб бомбардиров им.
