Former Ashantigold coach Milovan Cirkovic has disclosed that he left the club due to health reasons.
The Serbian trainer supervised the Miners in the first 15 games of the season but insists his health problems forced him to relinquish his role as coach of the club.
Ashantigold and the coach agreed to mutually go separate ways on Tuesday.
"My health is not the best and have to leave. It's not true am running away from any challenges, I am not fit," he told Oyerepa FM.
"I wish Ashantigold all the best in their future endeavors. I wanted to stay longer but that's not the case. The supporters, players, and management I wish them well," he added.
Cirkovic was appointed in November and enjoyed an impressive start which saw Ashgold establish themselves as title contenders in the early stages of the season.
However, a run of six games without victory sparked rumours of his immediate departure.
Last week, Cirkovic asked for a two-week sick leave and was not on the bench when the Miners walloped Aduana Stars 4-0.
The Miners are currently seventh in the Ghana Premier League.
