Published

on

Following Ghana’s unimpressive performance in the ongoing African Cup of Nations, (AFCON), the country’s Sports Ministry in an emergency meeting yesterday instructed the Ghana Football Association to sack its Serbian tactician, Milovan Rajevac, African Sports Today reported.

Despite the reluctance of the FA to fire Rajevac, the Ministry seems to have won the tussle on the future of the Serbian.

Rajevac in his first spell with the Black Stars led Ghana to the finals of the 2010 AFCON and the Quarter finals of the 2010 World Cup.
