Embattled Asante Kotoko CEO Sylvester Asare Owusu has denied reports that he has quit the club after being indicted by a government-backed committee into February's Baba Yara Stadium disaster.
The committee recommended a five-year ban away from football for Owusu among others.
Reports claimed the 48-year-old has distanced himself from the day-to-day administration of the club and awaiting the imposition of the ban.
The legal team of the Ghana Football Association says it is carefully studying the recommendations of the committee before applying recommended sanctions.
"I know a lot has happened in this few days but I have not resigned my post as it has been reported by a section of the media. I am still the CEO," Asare-Owusu told Ghanasoccernet.com.
"Kotoko is the biggest club in Ghana and so it is natural to hear some of these things. But I want to put on record that I am still at post and have no intention of quitting my job with Kotoko.
"The wise King, Otumfuo Osei Tutu appointed me so if there should be any resignation or whatsoever, he will be the first to know."
Apart from the ban, Asare-Owusu, is also to be prosecuted for allegedly stealing gate proceeds from the said match that saw four fans die and several others suffering suffocation due to excessive heat and overcrowding.
His lawyers have stated their intentions to contest the sanctions.
