Ghana FA boosts Black Stars technical bench with Stankovic appointment for AFCON

Published on: 05 January 2022

The Ghana Football Association has boosted the Technical team of the Black Stars with four new additions ahead of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations which kicks off this Sunday in Cameroon.

This follows a request by the head coach Milovan Rajevac to strengthen the Technical team in the lead up to Africa’s flagship tournament.

The quartet include Mike Stankovic, an experienced Serbian/American football coach, Awal Salifu - a Video analyst of International repute and two scouts.

Stankovic served as an assistant to Rajevac during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa where Ghana exited at the quarter final stage after losing to Uruguay on penalties.

Stankovic later joined Rajevac to manage the Qatar national football team in 2011.

The four Technical brains have already started work with the team in Doha, Qatar and are expected to bring their rich vein of experience to bear during the Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.

The Black Stars will take on African champions Algeria in an international friendly on Wednesday, January 5, 2022 at the Education City stadium.

Ghana are drawn in Group C with Morocco, Gabon and Comoros.
