Milovan Refuses To Pick GFA Calls

Serbian manager Milovan Rajevac has not only deserted the Black Stars without prior notice to his employers, Ghana Football Association, but he has also refused to pick calls from the GFA cap, Mr. Kwesi Nyantakyi.

In a telephone conversation with the President of the GFA, Kwasi Nyantakyi, he admitted his attempts to speak to the Serbian trainer on phone has proved futile as he refuses to pick his calls.

Milo has reportedly signed a contract with wealthy Saudi side Al Alhy Jeddah worth US4.5 million. The 54-year-odld confirmed his exit as the coach of the West African country after sending a text Wednesday to inform him of his decision. Club President Prince Khalid bin Fahd has confirmed that he signed a three-year contract despite a four year contract offer from Ghana.

This means the Black Stars are looking for a new coach ahead of next month’s clash with Sudan in Accra. According to reports in the Saudi media, Rajevac was expected in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday night in the company of a British agent. He jumped ship after opting to sign for Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahly without the blessing of his agent Goran Milavanonic which has sparked a tug of war.

His agent wanted him to sign the four-year contract proposed by the Ghana Football Association but Rejevac wanted to go for the money by signing for Al-Ahly. He is expected to be unveiled this week by Al-Ahly. His first game in charge of the side will be on 16th September when Al Ahly clash with their city rival AlItttihad Jeddah.
