AFCON 2021: Ghana coach sacked ahead of 2022 World Cup play-off against Nigeria

Milovan Rajevac has actually been dismissed as Ghana’s head coach, following their early exit from the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Black Stars finished bottom of their group, which had Comoros, Gabon and Morocco.

It is the very first time they have actually stopped working to win a minimum of one group phase match in their AFCON history.

“After considering three reports and engagements with key stakeholders, the GFA has chosen to end its relationship with coach Milovan Rajevac.

“The GFA will soon announce the reconstituted technical team and management committee after due engagement with all relevant stakeholders,” a declaration after a meeting of the Ghana Football Association read.

The 68-year-old Rajevac had actually just been back in the post for four months, in his second stint in charge of the Black Stars.

Ghana needs to now move rapidly to discover a new coach ahead of their 2022 World Cup playoffs in 2 months, where they face West African rivals Nigeria.
