The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has agreed to make Serbian Milovan Rajevac the new Black Stars coach.<\/p>\n

Citi Sports understands that Kwesi Appiah is done as the coach of Ghana and a severance package will be agreed on, by the end of the weekend.<\/p>\n

The former Black Stars coach touched down in Accra on Monday in what he thought was a quiet entry, but he was ‘caught’ by journalists.<\/p>\n

Citi Sports understands that the 60-year old had an interview with the Ghana FA on Thursday.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”ZBW9tafiqsFUumeOub1nA7MVVubpvRxt”]Following a dismal World Cup, the plan was to get a technical adviser for Kwesi Appiah, who then chose veteran local coach Ben Koufie.<\/p>\n

The choice was rebuffed by the three-man committee setup to do the job, who then went about looking for another choice.<\/p>\n

Milovan\u2019s coming sends clear signals that key people within the FA are paving the way for him, despite the initial plan being for him to be a technical adviser, if at all.<\/p>\n

Citi Sports had reported on Tuesday that if Appiah lost against Togo, Rajevac could be named coach before the week ends.<\/p>\n

But the GFA is said to have moved up the decision even after Appiah commandeered a resilient 3-2 win against Togo on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The FA are aware of Milovan\u2019s popularity despite the abrupt way he left Ghana following his historic leadership of the team to the last eight of the 2010 World Cup.<\/p>\n

He also led Ghana to a final place in the 2010 African Cup and, a year before, another final place finish of the nation\u2019s CHAN team.<\/p>\n

Rajevac has since insisted that he only left the job because a deal to renew a contract was not handled by the FA well.<\/p>\n

Writing on the wall<\/strong><\/p>\n

The GFA, in August,\u00a0set up a three-man committee<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0to appoint a technical adviser for the Black Stars.<\/p>\n

Citi Sports<\/strong>\u00a0had earlier revealed that the Serbian, who was one of three names being considered,\u00a0was favourite to land the job<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

He told GNA Sports earlier this week: \u201cI cannot wait to join the family again. I am very excited to be back here; my second home. It is always relaxing and I love it here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kwesi Appiah who has previously stated that\u00a0he has not considered resigning<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0from his position,\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

More to follow.<\/strong><\/p>\n
