Yussif Basigi has been appointed head coach of Police Ladies for the 2025 WAFU B Women's Champions League qualifiers in Côte d'Ivoire.
Basigi, who previously guided Hasaacas Ladies to the final of the inaugural CAF Women's Champions League in 2021, takes over technical responsibilities as Abu Kassim does not hold the required license to manage at the continental level.
Kassim, who led Police Ladies to their first-ever Ghana Women's Premier League title in the 2024/25 season, will serve as an assistant during the qualifiers. "I am not going to lead the team [at the qualifiers] tactically or technically because I'm not qualified to be the head coach in Africa," Kassim said during the team's Media Day at the Awutu Winton SHS Park. "I'm a License B holder, that is why Yussif Basigi is here.
He is going to sit in as the head when we go there." The regional tournament, which serves as the gateway to the CAF Women's Champions League, will feature clubs including Nigeria's Bayelsa Queens, ASEC Mimosas of Côte d'Ivoire, AS GNN (Niger), USFA (Burkina Faso), ASKO (Togo), and Sam Nelly (Benin).
