“Unfortunately, five coaches failed to meet the required pass mark for the award of their licenses while two more failed to meet the class attendance threshold as is required for the award of their licenses. Consequently, in line with the Confederation of African Football (CAF) policies, the coaches shall be given a six-month grace period to sit assignments and other practical sessions as they await a retake of their final examinations,” FKF said in a statement.
