Former Asante Kotoko goalkeeper Danlad Ibrahim has opened up about how he lost the number one spot to Frederick Asare at the club.

Danlad was Kotoko's number-one goalkeeper but lost his position after the arrival of coach Prosper Narteh Ogum.

Speaking on what led to his demotion, the goalkeeper said, "I started losing that position when I came back from the CHAN tournament. I didn't see it coming, truly," he told 3 Sports.

"But that is life. Normally, things will happen without your notice. It is part of the job. Everybody came to Asante Kotoko to work. We all came to make Asante Kotoko greater, so if my colleague will play and we will win, why not? For me, it was normal and it is part of life.

"All the national teams that I have played for, normally I meet a lot of goalkeepers, but before the start of the tournament, I will be number one."

The Ghana international has parted ways with the Porcupine Warriors following the expiration of his contract.

He was among the eighteen players released by the club.
