Ghana FA asks Ashanti Gold to drop head coach Gokyildiz

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has revoked the license of Ashanti Gold coach Kasim Gokyildiz.

The football's governing body, who has been cracking the whip for strict compliance to its club licensing system, says it is unable to "validate the authenticity" of the Turk's Uefa A Licence coaching certificate.

Gokyildiz arrived in Ghana in December at the start of the league following the departure of Ricardo Da Rocha as head coach of The Miners.
