Accra, Dec 15, GNA - The new Coach for the national football team, the Black Stars, Patomir Dujkovic, arrived in Accra on Tuesday. Speaking to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) the Yugoslav promised to ensure Ghana's qualification to the Word Cup in 2008.

The Coach with 20 years experience said his new assignment was his fourth national team experience and promised to bring his experience to bear on Ghana's fortunes in the years ahead.
