GFA vice president confirms Stevanovic departure

Ghana FA vice president Jordan Anagbla has confirmed the body has parted ways with Goran Stevanovic and and warned the country must not repeat the mistakes it made with him.

Anagbla chaired a meeting with Stevanovic that told him his services were no longer required last Friday.

While the GFA was keen to stress it had not arrived at a decision, Anagbla told Radio Gold the marriage is over and that any discussions on the merits and demerits that the association signed with him is no longer relevant.

"If you go saying the contract is poorly done, what benefit will it bring us?" Anagbla said in reaction to criticism of the contract. "They are not retaining the man, he is going what should be next. That should be the issue we should be discussing. Whether the contract is bad, smooth, rough is over. We need to correct it and the correction is what we are doing now."

Stevanovic is due to meet the GFA with a legal aid on Monday morning to finalise the details of a compensation package with one year on his contract.

The Serbian, kickoffGhana understands is asking for a full settlement of the salary on the remaining one year of his contract at 30,000Euro a month and settlement of 100,000Euro which the GFA owes on his 200,000Euro signing on fee.
