King Faisal set to name Kasim Gökyildiz as new head coach

Ghanaian top-flight side, King Faisal are set to appoint Turkish Kasim Gökyildiz as their new head coach, Kumasi-based OTEC FM has reported.

The 55-year-old worked briefly in Ghana in 2020 for regional rivals AshantiGold but had his stay truncated.

This was after the Ghana Football Association claimed they had failed to validate the authenticity of his UEFA License A coaching certificate.

Gökyildiz is expected to arrive in Ghana on Wednesday to conclude his move to the relegation-threatened side.

Current coach Andy Sinason will remain at the club and work as his assistant.

King Faisal are third-bottom on the league log with 17 points from 17 matches after the first half of the 2020/21 season.
