Ex-Ghana coach Rajevac joins Saudi side

Published on: 09 September 2010

Serbian manager Milovan Rajevac joined Saudi side Al Ahly Jeddah on Wednesday after quitting as the coach of Ghana.

Rajevac has signed a contract with wealthy Saudi side Al Ahly Jeddah worth US$4.5m.

Al Ahly president Prince Khalid bin Fahd confirmed that he signed a three-year contract despite a new offer from Ghana.

Rajevac, 54, quit as the coach despite being offered a new four-year deal by the Ghana Football Association worth US$3.5m.

He is expected to be unveiled this week by Al Ahly.

His first game in charge of the side will be on 16 September when Al Ahly clash with their city rivals Al Ittihad Jeddah.

Rajevac took a relatively young Black Stars team to the final of the Africa Cup of Nations in Angola in February.

He also led the team to the quarter finals of the World Cup a few months later in South Africa, triggering calls from fans and players alike that his contract be extended.
