Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>Ghana have sacked coach Milovan Rajevac eight days after the Black Stars crashed out of the Africa Cup of Nations in the group stages.<\/p>\n

The country\u2019s football association (GFA) first discussed the 68-year-old Serb\u2019s position just three days after the shock 3-2 loss to Comoros which sealed their fate at the tournament in Cameroon.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis follows the receipt of the technical report from the coach, and the report from the management committee, following Ghana\u2019s early exit from the Africa Cup of Nations,\u201d a GFA statement said. \u201cThe GFA will soon announce the reconstituted technical team and management committee after due engagement with all relevant stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ghana will need to have a coach in place ahead of their crucial two-legged 2022 World Cup play-off against West African arch-rivals Nigeria in March. The Black Stars suffered a dismal tournament in Cameroon under Rajevac, taking only a single point from games against Morocco, Gabon and Comoros and finishing bottom of group C.<\/p>\n

The defeat by Comoros in a game they needed to win to qualify for the last 16 marked one of the lowest points in the national team\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

Rajevac was re-appointed for his second spell as Ghana boss in September 2021 and initially did well, successfully guiding Ghana through the second round of World Cup qualifying with a controversial win against South Africa.<\/p>\n
