WAFA SC have squashed media reports head coach John Killa has quit the club.

A statement on the club website claim the Dutchman is on a one-week compassionate leave.

It read: “The Academy wish to announce that First Team coach John Killa is away on a one-week compassionate leave.

“The Dutchman has returned to his hometown to deal with a pressing family issue.

“He will be in town on Tuesday to handle the midweek clash against Hearts of Oak at the Accra Sports Stadium in the Ghana Premier League.”

Killa guided the academy side to qualify to the top-flight last two season ago and has been credited for making them an exciting side to watch.

He was shortlisted for the best coach of the season award on his debut campaign last term.
