The Ministry of Youth and Sports has approved the Ghana Football Association (GFA)’s decision to appoint Serbian Milovan Rajevac as the next Black Stars coach.
Milovan Rajevac was the GFA’s three-man committee’s preferred choice to replace Charles Akonnor who was sacked last week.
The ministry has now approved the decision to appoint the Serbian coach after the GFA told the ministry of the decision.
The approval of the ministry that pays the salary of the national team coaches, paved the way for the Serbian trainer’s arrival in the country on Sunday night.
Rajevac will have a meeting with officials of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) on Monday morning before he is sent to meet the Sports Minister of Ghana, Hon. Mustapha Ussif later in the day.
Following his meeting with the Sports Minister, Rajevac will sign a two-year performance-based contract to coach the Black Stars and repeat his magic with the side he guided to the quarter-finals of the 2010 World Cup.
It is believed that the GFA and Rajevac have already agreed all the terms of his contract before his arrival as there is the for things to be completed quickly in time to name his squad for next month’s World Cup qualifier against Zimbabwe.
The Serbian will be given an official place of his residence as well as an official car to help him effectively carry out his duties.
This revelation comes even before the GFA officially announces the outcome of the report of the three-man committee to select a new coach for the senior national team.
This confirms the GFA is on the verge of naming Rajevac as the new coach of the national team for his second stint with the Black Stars, GHANAsoccernet.com can exclusively report, confirming our revelation the day Charles Akonnor was sacked.
Last week Monday, the GFA sacked Akonnor citing the unimpressive showing of the Black Stars, and minutes later Ghana’s leading football news outfit revealed that Rajevac was leading the race to land the ojb.
Now the three-man committee, tasked with selecting a new coach for the Black Stars, has agreed to hand the experienced Serbian the mandate to return to coach the Black Stars after his heroics with the national team at the 2010 World Cup.
The committee decided to narrow down on ‘Milo’ for various reasons including his knowledge of the Ghanaian terrain, his strong disciplinary record and on-the-field record to at least salvage the Black Stars World Cup qualifying campaign and to take the country to the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Cameroon.
