THE GHANA Football Association (GFA) has decided to give Black Stars Serbian Coach Milovan Rajevac a fresh deal to continue handling the senior national team.
GFA President Kwesi Nyantakyi said, “The necessary consultations with stakeholders have been made and Ghana has settled on the Serbian to stay at post.”
The contract of Mr. Rajevac, who guided the Black Stars to qualify for the quarterfinal stage of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, will expire in August 2010.
But the GFA boss noted that his outfit has made its intentions of prolonging Coach Rajevac's stay known to him but no deal has been reached as of now.
“We have made our intentions of keeping Mr. Rajevac known to him and he has also assured of his preparedness to stay as Black Stars trainer.”
Lawyer Nyantakyi however pointed out that a concrete deal could be reached between the two parties provided they both agree on new contractual terms, notably the monetary package involved.
Meanwhile, Ghanasoccernet.com has reported that the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has agreed a four-year deal for Milovan Rajevac to stay on as Black Stars coach.
According to a GFA source who pleaded anonymity, the deal will see Rajevac lead the Black Stars to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil with the mandate of helping the country to reach the semi finals of the tournament.
Even though both parties have agreed the deal, other small details will be discussed in the coming days as Rajevac is expected to return to post in two weeks' time.
His first assignment since the World Cup will be in the middle of next month as the Black Stars will play South Africa in a friendly in Johannesburg.
He will monitor some new players for the Black Stars before heading off to Johannesburg for the friendly that will prepare his side for the African Cup of Nations qualifiers which start in September.
The GFA source reiterated that the federation is in no talks with any other coach for the position which Rajevac still holds.
A report by a section of the Ghanaian media claimed on Tuesday that two Serbian coaches Blagoje Paunovic and Mirosslav Dukic have expressed interest in the job.
But the GFA is not interested in talking to the two coaches as a deal has already been reached for the well-liked Rajevac to stay.
