Asante Kotoko granted coach Zdravko Lugarosic the chance to travel to his home country last Sunday.
The Croat left Ghana for Croatia on Sunday- same day his side lost 1-0 to Hearts at the Accra Stadium.
When the story emerged that he had left town, many were of the view that he has been fired.
But sources at the club tell footballghana.com that management sanctioned his trip and that he is expected back in the country in a week's time to continue his work.
