Ghana coach Rajevac rubbishes Serbia deal reports

Published on: 25 July 2010

Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac has rejected reports in the Serbian media that he on the verge of taking over as the coach of the European country.

The Serbian manager helped the Black Stars to reach the quarter finals of the World Cup despite being tipped to exit in the first round.

His performance with the West Africans has attracted interest from his home country and other countries.

The 'Zornal' newspaper in reported last week that a deal has been reached for Rajevac to coach Serbia but his representative have emphatically rejected the report through the statement below:

STATEMENT ON PURPORTED APPOINTMENT OF MILOVAN RAJEVAC AS COACH OF SERBIA

Virtus International, the represetatives of Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac, are alarmed by a publication in the 21th July edition of the ‘Zournal’ claiming that our client has been appointed as the coach of Serbia.

We wish to state emphatically that the publication is palpably false.

Milovan Rajevac is fully contracted to be the coach of the national team of Ghana and at no time has he or his representatives spoken to the Serbia Football Association about taking over the job of coaching the Serbian national team.

In fact we have started talks with the Ghana Football Association over his expiring contract and we have given our words with the Ghana authorities over this.

Mr. Rajevac is a man of honour and will not renege on the promises he has made to the Ghana Football Association.

Even though Rajevac has not extended his contract with Ghana yet, his words to the Ghana FA over his new contract, is stronger than his signature.

We also wish to state that Ratomir Antic, is a personal friend of Mr. Rajevac and such a publication is calculated to damage the relationship between the two great coaches.

Mr. Antic has a contract with the Serbian FA and that must be respected by the media as Mr. Rajevac is not interested in any surreptitious deals.

As such we want the general public to disregard the publication as Mr. Rajevac is still the coach of Ghana and he is looking forward negotiating a new deal with the Ghana Black Stars.

Thank you

Signed

Goran Milovanovic

President

Virtus International
