Ghana axe coach Stevanovic

Stevanovic took over as Ghana coach in January 2011, but failed to take the Black Stars to the final of the Africa Cup of Nations.

A statement from the Ghana FA on Monday read: “The Ghana Football Association has parted company with Goran Stevanovic as the Black Stars coach today.

“This comes after three weeks of extensive meetings to ensure that the best decision is taken in the best interest of the nation.”

Ghana FA president Kwesi Nyantakyi added: “We would like to express our gratitude to the general public for their concerns about the national team and their patience so far.”
