AshantiGold head coach Kasim Gokyildiz insists his UEFA A Coaching Certificate is genuine and has asked the Ghana Football Association to reverse their earlier decision to revoke his license.

The Ghana FA claimed they could not authenticate his license from either the German and Turkish Football Federations.

But Gokyildiz took to Facebook to clarify the situation.

He wrote: "Yesterday 10.02.2020 GFA revoked my license with an non understandable reason. GFA claims that my license validity isn’t confirmed by the Turkish football federation. Unfortunately GFA didn’t sent any inquiry the past 2 months to the Turkish football federation based on what GFA claimed I touched in contact with the Turkish football federation with the request to send email with confirmation of the validity date of my license.

"The GFA got today morning 11.02.2021 at 7:03 o’clock from the Turkish football federation letter by email that my license is valid until 31.12.2021.

"I do not know what the reason is for all of this, I can only assure to all our supporters that from my side all my documents are correct and valid and I can proof it.

"Hope that ASAP GFA will see their mistake and returns from their decision. Until all is clarified I wish you all the best."
